The Bird and the Old Lady
A long time ago there lived an old lady who had a large strawberry farm. The farm was so large that she could collect the strawberries every day. As the time went by, the old lady got weaker and weaker. She could hardly walk down the farm. She asked a bird to help her to collect the strawberries. As the payment, she would give the bird a half of the harvest. The bird accepted the offer happily.
