`` Oh nothing , Cousin , nothing at all , '' replied Blacky . `` I was just talking foolishness to myself . '' Sammy looked at him sharply . `` You are n't feeling sick , are you , Cousin Blacky ? '' he asked . `` Must be something the matter with you when you begin talking about new-laid eggs , when everything 's covered with snow and ice . Foolishness is no name for it . Whoever heard of such a thing as a new-laid egg this time of year . '' `` Nobody , I guess , '' replied Blacky . `` I told you I was just talking foolishness . You see , I 'm so hungry that I just got to thinking what I 'd have if I could have anything I wanted . That made me think of eggs , and I tried to think just how I would feel if I should suddenly see a great big egg right in front of me . I guess I must have said something about it . '' `` I guess you must have . It is n't egg time yet , and it wo n't be for a long time . Take my advice and just forget about impossible things . I 'm going over to Farmer Brown 's corncrib . Corn may not be as good as eggs , but it is very good and very filling . Better come along , '' said Sammy . `` Not this morning , thank you .
Some other time , perhaps , '' replied XXXXX .
