6. The Farmer and the Cucumbers
One day, a farmer is picking cucumbers in his small garden.
“How lonely these cucumbers are!” the farmer thinks,
“After I pick all of them...”
“I will sell the cucumbers, and buy a hen.
The hen will lay many eggs. The eggs will grow into many chicks.”
“I will sell the chicks, and buy a pig. The pig will have many piglets.”“I will sell the piglets, and buy a horse.
The horse will have many ponies.”
“I will sell the ponies, and buy...
a large garden. I will grow more cucumbers.”
“Of course, I will have some people take care of my cucumbers.”
“I will just walk around the garden and shout, ‘Hey! Get to work!’”The farmer shouts out!
Suddenly he hears a sound.
He turns around and discovers a big surprise...
“Where are my cucumbers?!”
