Children:

​

Who lay chocolate Easter eggs?
     Why, chocolate hens, for sure!
And Hettie was a special hen
     Who just laid more and more.

​

Her little eggs,  a special treat,
     Were quickly talked about,
For hens that can lay chocolate eggs
     Are special, there’s no doubt!

​

So lots of people bought her eggs,
     In fact there was a queue,
And perhaps at Easter you might get
      A chocolate egg or two.

​

Then Hettie had some little chicks
     And watched them as they grew.
When they grew up, just like their Mum,
     Their eggs were chocolate too.

​

The farmer soon became quite rich.
     He was a greedy man
And the fairies, seeing how things were,
     Devised a cunning plan.

​

They’d noticed just how cruel he was.
     He made his hens work hard.
They had to lay eggs day and night:
     No fun in his farmyard!

​

One day that farmer went to town
     But found, on his return,
That all his hens had disappeared,
     Which caused him great concern.

​

The fairies had arrived that day
     And took his hens away,
And now they live in Fairyland
      With lots of time to play.

​

Now Hettie’s one of many hens
     Who lay the eggs you buy 
And you’ll feel happier that she’s safe
     And for certain so will I!
