31. Realism/ Fantasy Grandma Bess lived in a big, old, white house in the country. Kashia, who lived in the city, always learned something new when she visited her grandmother. Grandma Bess had a wonderful garden. She planted tomatoes, carrots, okra, corn, and green beans. Kashia loved to help her grandmother pick the fresh vegetables. It was like going to the grocery store without paying for food! Grandma Bess also had a pen where she kept hens. Each morning she went inside the pen and gathered eggs. One morning, Kashia went with her. Kashia saw a huge white hen sitting on a nest. The hen was waiting for her eggs to hatch. Kashia bent her head near the hen's head to get a better look. Peck! Peck! Squawk! Squawk! "Ouch!" Kashia cried out. Grandma Bess turned to Kashia quickly and said, "What's wrong?" "The hen pecked me on my nose! It hurts!" Grandma Bess chuckled. "That's what a hen does to survive. She protects herself and her habitat from danger." "It's not funny!" Kashia said. "And I'm not dangerous!" "I'm not laughing at you," Grandma Bess said, but she was still smiling. Then she added softly, "I'm just laughing because the same thing happened to me when I was your age. I got too close to a hen too. It pecked me right on my nose." "I guess I learned my lesson," Kashia said. "From now on, I'll keep my nose away from the hens!" Grandma Bess and Kashia laughed.
