Here's a brief summary:
It was a real honor for the cat to be entrusted with collecting the eggs from the incubator overnight. Those tiny chicks were just about to hatch, and I knew the cat would be keeping a close eye on them. But, of course, the chicks hatched during the night while the cat was sleeping, and they made a break for it, scattering all over the house. Now, where did they go?
The back cover has a great annotation that sets the scene for the story.
