    When it was time for the eggs to be hatched she went to see did the turkey come out.She took up the egg and put it to her ear and she heard the little bird inside,Next day when she came out she saw the head peeping out with the stamp-edge. She was delighted and said it was a lucky egg. She reared up the little turkey and it laid many eggs which were hatched and she had plenty of turkeys as a result of the lucky egg,
