Once upon a time, there was an old maid who lived on a farm alone. She had a hen which gave a dozen eggs every day. The old maid sold the eggs in the village to buy bread and butter. One day the hen did not give any eggs. The old maid ate the left over bread and better from the previous night and managed to scrape through the day. On the second day, the hen still did on give any eggs. The old maid bought some milk from her neighbours and went to bed still hungry. On the third day when the hen still had not given any eggs, the old maid started crying. She was hungry and had no food or money left. A magician was passing by her farm and moved by her bitter cries stopped to ask why she was crying. On learning about the hen, the magician gave her some magic beans to feed the hen. The next day, the hen gave a golden egg. The old maid was overjoyed and sold the golden egg for a fortune. The next morning, the hen gave another golden egg which the old maid again sold for a large sum of money. It went on for a week and the village was talking about the good fortune of the old maid. Some people said the hen had stored a hundred golden eggs in her stomach. Scared that somebody might steal her hen, the old maid killed the hen to take out the hundred golden eggs in one go for herself. On tearing open it’s stomach, the old maid found no golden eggs in the hen and cried tears of sorrow.
