The Hen and the Golden Eggs.

Chapter 1: The Hen

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who was very poor. He worked really hard but did not earn a lot of money and did not have a lot to eat. One day after returning from his work, he was very hungry.

‘What am I going to eat tonight ?’ he thought.

Then he heard a hen outside and thought this would be a good meal for dinner. It was pretty hard to catch it, but he finally caught it after two minutes. He then got back into his tiny house and grabbed a knife. He was ready to cut the hen, but as he was about to do so, it started to speak!

Chapter 2 : I will help you
Oh, farmer, please don’t kill me! I will help you.’

‘What’s this ?’, said the farmer. ‘A hen that can speak? I’m becoming crazy.

‘No, you’re not, and if you listen to me, I will make you rich.

‘How can you possibly make me rich? You’re just a hen, and you’re worth nothing.’

‘If you don’t kill me, I will give you a golden egg every day.’

‘You’re lying; you are just trying to save your life.’

‘I promise you this is true.’

‘Ok, but if you’re lying, I will eat you tomorrow.’

Chapter 3: The surprise
When he woke up the next day, the farmer went to the hen and found a golden egg as promised. He was amazed at this and wondered how he could spend his money. He didn’t want to save it. He wanted to be popular among the villagers, so he went to the nearest pub and ordered the best meals and drinks for everyone. The bartender knew the farmer was poor and wondered how he would pay for everything, but after seeing the golden egg, he brought everything the farmer wanted – sweet potatoes with beef, dozens of bottles of wine, and gallons of beer. After finishing his own meal, the farmer paid the bartender, who was delighted to get a golden egg.

Chapter 4: More than you can imagine.
The same thing happened for weeks. The farmer no longer worked since he had found this marvelous hen that gave him a golden egg every day. He would wake up no sooner than 8 o’clock, pick up his golden egg and go straight to the same pub where he was now very popular among the villagers. Indeed, he invited them for both lunch and dinner.

One day, however, he was starving and thirsty and ordered more than usual for everyone. Actually, he ordered so much that he could not pay for everything.

‘I know you always pay for everything with your golden egg’, said the bartender, ‘but a single egg is not enough for today’s bill.’

‘You know what ?’, said the farmer, ‘I will buy your pub. Tomorrow, I will give you more golden eggs than you can imagine.’

Chapter 5 : Back to work

The farmer went back home, ready to get more golden eggs.

‘This hen is giving me one golden egg every day, so there must be a treasure inside its stomach,’ he thought. He thus decided to kill the hen to get dozens of golden eggs. Unfortunately, he could find nothing inside it and was very disappointed. Indeed, now that the hen was dead, he could no longer pay for the villager’s meals, and his popularity rapidly decreased. Moreover, because he had not saved any money, he had no choice but to work hard again to pay his debts.

People who always want more sometimes lose everything.

Hola

In my bedroom, I read books and play video games. There is a desk, where I do my homework. I always tidy my room. I like the garden because I play football outside. This is the kitchen, where we cook, and sometimes I clean.

An event is a set of possible outcomes
An outcome is a possible result of an experiment
The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes
Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot both occur at the same time
The complement of A is the event that contains all the outcomes that are not in an event A
Events that are exhaustive and mutually exclusive form a partition

I wish to be able to learn a language. And most of the recordings I receive are in my native language, English.

-What are my wishes for 2023?
-Well , first of all , I dream of a peaceful world ,let's hope that all the conflicts all around the world will come to an end this year , I wish that the war will end in Ukraine.
-I also wish that the governments will give efficient solutions to the economic crisis ,in particular the inflation caused by rising food and energy prices.
-Let's just hope that there will be more and more faster actions to brake the threat that is facing us nowadays, whether we call it climate change or global warming.
-Finally, now that the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted in China,this swift has led to soaring infections and fears of new rising cases in the rest of the world , so all we can wish for ourselves and our dear ones is good health and a pandemic-free world.
I hope 2023 will be a prosperous and happy new year for all of us. No matter what days await us , together we will make this new year beautiful.

We remember MLK,
Honored on this special day.
He had a dream that we would stand
United together in this land,
That we would strive to find a way
To live as friends in peace today.
He wanted each of us to see
The beauty of equality.
He taught that right overcomes wrong,
That hope can turn the weak to strong,
And showing love instead of hate
Would make our country truly great.
His message, meant to set us free,
Was filled with hope for you and me.
So on this day let freedom ring,
As we remember Dr. King!
