UNIT 4 :OUR PAST
Tape transcript:
Once a farmer lived a comfortable life with his family. His chickens laid many eggs which the farmer used to sell to buy food and clothing for his family.
One day, he went to collect the eggs and discovered one of the chickens laid a gold egg. He shouted excitedly to his wife, “We’re rich! We’re rich!”
His wife ran to him and they both looked at the egg in amazement. The wife wanted more, so her husband decided to cut open all the chickens and find more gold eggs. Unfortunately he couldn’t find any eggs. When he finished all the chickens were dead.
There were no more eggs of any kind for the foolish farmer and his greedy wife.
