圣诞节马上来了。
史密斯先生却没有钱为他的孩子买礼物。他的妻子病了为了给他的妻子卖药史密斯先生花了很多钱。而他的收入却少得可怜,他们一大家子人下个春季都要挨饿。他为此非常着急。
有一天史密斯夫人说到:“我们只有一只小鸡。你最好带着他去镇上,卖了它然后为我们的孩子买一些蛋糕和糖果。”
“这是个好主意。”男人说道,然后第二天早晨他抓了那只小鸡把它丢尽一个箱子。路上覆盖着厚厚的积雪很难行走。
两个小时以后,他感觉非常的泪想休息一下。他把箱子放到地上坐下来。
“箱子里空气肯定很封闭”这个男人自言自语。“我最好让小鸡出来溜达一会儿,否则它会死掉的。”
因此他把小鸡放到地上。当他准备要走的时候,这个男人却再也没办法抓住这只小鸡。
史密斯先生大声生气的说:“你真是太愚蠢了!你能在夜晚预知黎明什么时候到来,大白天的却找不到去镇上的路!”
