Story 29. A Man and His Chickens-2
The man went to see the shoemaker.
"Make me a new pair of shoes," he said, "and I will give you six chickens."
The shoemaker agreed.
A few days later, when the man went to check his eggs, he saw only broken eggshells.
"Oh no!" he exclaimed.
A fox had come in and eaten all his chicken eggs.
The man began to cry.
He had counted eggs, not chickens.
A fox came in and ate all the eggs!
