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.

“There’re so many chicks, dear,” said the women one day,” I can’t look after them at all.” That’s easy,’ said Mr. White，”Mr. Black’s farm is nest to ours. We’d better make a few holes in the walls and our chicks will go to his farm though them and eat his vegetables.’’

“That’s a good idea!” The women said happily.

He put nearly twenty eggs near the holes one afternoon. And that evening when he was counting his chicks, he called out in his farm,”O(jiān)h, I’m lucky today! I have found twenty eggs in my farm.’’
