    The speckled hen laid 12 eggs in her hidden nest at the top of the hay pile in the barn and the very last one, whom she called Humpty Dumpty having run out of names, was the largest of all. Now you may not know that eggs can talk but they can. The nest was very crowded and so the eggs began kicking each other to get more space for themselves. Humpty Dumpty, being on the very edge of the next, was kicked completely out and then decided to look about the wide world to see what he could see. You will need to listen to this story to know what happens next but I assure you it is very exciting and involves a beautiful princess and a king and a happy marriage not to mention the king's horses. And Humpty was involved in all of it. !!!
