Comte and the Hen Farm Tale in a Trampler’s Tale
An untidy, fragmentary diary piece recounts farmyard misadventures with a hen and her chicks, a misfired attempt to move a keg, injuries from a tractor and a dog bite, and reflections on a local event with cold comforts and looming vegetables. It blends domestic chaos with odd, vivid details from a rambling narrator.
