If Those Ten Eggs Would Have Hatched I Had Ten Chicks Analysis

I believe the innkeeper learned he shouldn’t have tried to make a profit off the farmer over ten scrambled eggs that were incapable to hatch. He also attempted to make the farmer try to pay four thousand kroner because it took the farmer four years to come back and pay for the eggs. In paragraph three the innkeeper says “ If those ten eggs would have hatched I would have had ten chicks”. There was nothing the farmer could do which made the innkeeper think he would get the four thousand.

The tone created by the author’s words and phrases in paragraph’s ten through twelve was kind of a humorous sarcastic type of tone. The lawyer used the innkeeper’s logic to help the farmer in a sarcastic type of way. In paragraph 10 the lawyer said, “Sorry
I lost track of time while I was boiling two bushels of corn and planting them in my field. “ In reality we all know boiled corn can’t grow. Which is just like why scrambled eggs can’t hatch into chicks.
