When The Farmer Ate A Plate Of Eggs

The passage ”Scrambled Eggs” is a tale of how a farmer was paid 50 kroner (about 50 dollars) for eating a plate of eggs. He went to a inn to stay the night and in the morning he ate a plate of eggs. He was going to pay the innkeeper when he got back from the market although he forgot four years later he was walking by and realized his detp and went in to pay. The innkeeper said the bill was 4000 kroner. When the farmer asked why he said “If those eggs would have have hatched by now the generations of chickens would be worth 4000 kroner. The next day they appeared in court. The farmer’s lawyer showed up late. The reason for this was he was boiling corn and planting it in his garden. He said “if scrambled egg can hatch than that will work too”.
