While enduring the hardship, they often wished that one day, they could get rich somehow, frequently, they would pray to god to give them a fortune. One day, god decided to give them a gift in order to change their life. The gift was a healthy but rather ordinarily looking hen. The couple was somewhat disappointed with this fowl [家禽], contemplating [计划,打算] the best way to cook it. The next morning, the farmer went to the cage to fetch the bird. To his great surprise that he found that the hen had laid a gold egg. They were overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected found given to them by god and extremely grateful and happy about it. For the then, they built a nice and comfortable chicken coop [笼] and fed the bird with best feed that they could gather. After selling many gold eggs, the couple became richer and richer.

It would be wonderful only if the hen could lay two or three or even one hundred gold eggs a day, the farmer and his wife thought.

Alas, he found that there was only one gold egg inside the hen.
