Mr. White lives in a village. He has a big farm and he is the richest there. He has pigs, chicks, cows and sheep. He works in the fields with some workers and his wife has to do all the housework at home. So she is very busy and often asks her husband to employ a girl to help her, but he doesn't agree.
One day, Mrs. White talks about it again, "There're so many hens, dear. I can't even feed them at all."
"That's easy." says Mr. White, "Mr. Black's farm is next to ours. We'd better make a few holes in the wall and our hens will go to his farm through them and eat his vegetables." "That's a good idea!" Mrs. White says happily.
Soon Mr. Black finds it. He tells the Whites about it, and they promise (承诺) they will stop their hens doing that again. But they don't keep their words. Then Mr. Black thinks hard and finds a way.
One afternoon, Mr. Black puts nearly twenty eggs near the holes. And that evening when he is counting his hens; he calls out in his farm, Oh, I'm lucky today! I have found twenty eggs In my farm.
Of course; Mrs. White hears it. herself, and the next morning Mr. Black finds all the holes are gone.
