Previous Chapter

“So you see Mrs. Anderson, this is a wonderful opportunity for Jake to learn more about chickens and humane hatcheries.” Gilbert’s hands shook and he tried not to look guilty. Lying to Jake’s mom made him feel queasy.

“I don’t know…” began Jake’s mom with a small frown. “I really think I should be here too.”

“Of course!” You and I can chat in my office during the hands-on part of the lecture. Then we can join the group for the tour.”

“Hmm…I guess that would be fine.”

Gilbert sighed. He wasn’t counting on Jake’s mom to want to attend. He made a mental note to put a speech together for the “seminar”. Then, he’d just have to find a way to occupy Jake’s mom while he went and met with the others.


“Thank you for attending the lecture Mrs. Anderson. Would you follow me to the lobby? I need to take care of a...a chick problem that came up. You can chat with my secretary while you wait for the kids to finish up.”

Jake’s mom smiled and nodded. She had enjoyed talking with the secretary about gardening when she came to the hatchery and was anxious to learn more about the fertilizer she used to get such large tomatoes.

After getting her settled, Gilbert hurried to the hatching room to meet Jake, Pecky and the two kids.
