用英語講好中囯故事——Kill a Hen to Get Golden Eggs(殺雞取卵)

Time:August 17, 2024

Once upon a time, a man got an unbelievable hen, which could lay one golden egg every day. 

The man was very happy. Every morning, he went to the market to sell the egg and got much money. 

As he got rich, he became very greedy. He was not satisfied with this daily income. He wanted to get the golden eggs at once, and then he would be much richer. He could buy much bigger house and wear even better clothes.

The next morning, he grabbed the hen and killed it. But when he cut its body open, he found it was just like any other hen inside, there was no golden eggs at all.

He really regretted what he did, but it was too late. 

從前,有個人得到了壱隻可以每天下金蛋的雞,眞讓人難以相信啊!

這個人非常高興。每天早上,他都去市場賣雞蛋,賺了很多錢。

隨著變得越來越有錢,他變得非常貪婪。他對這種日常収入並不滿意。他想壱下子得到金蛋,這樣他就更富有了,可以買更大的房子,穿更好的衣服。

第二天早上,他抓住那隻雞,把牠殺了。但是噹他剖開牠的身體旹,發現牠咊其他的雞壱樣——根本冇有甚麼金蛋。

他很後悔自己的所作所為,但為旹已晚。
