Farmer Hans rubbed his eyes. Was he seeing that right? Everywhere, as far as he could see, he saw strange white objects on his farmland. When he checked a few days ago, everything was fine. When he got closer, he realized the white objects were in fact hundreds of eggs.
Not much later, he heard a strange, but familiar noise...
Hans could not believe his eyes and immediately drove back to his home to wake up his wife, Bonny, and his two daughters, Mary and Giselle. They all rushed outside together, and all of the girls were stunned by what they saw. With tears in her eyes, Bonny said to her husband: "Is this what I think it is?"
The field was dead, and the corn was gone. Instead, there were eggs scattered all over the place. It looked like they were almost ready to hatch, but Hans got up on his tractor and was about to destroy them all when his girls intervened.
They jumped in front of the tractor and refused to move. They didn’t understand how their father could be so heartless and destroy a living thing like that. To calm down his girls, Hans suggested something else that completely shocked them.
But what suggested Hans? And why did he burst into tears when they finally hatched?
A farmer's life is full of routines. They wake up before the sun rises and start their work. Their days are filled with hard labor. But it is also very rewarding. Being a farmer had always been Hans’ dream, and now that he had made it a reality, nothing could go wrong. Or so he thought.
