A woman owned a hen that laid an egg every morning.Since the hen's eggs were of excellent quality,they sold for a good price.So,at one point,the woman thought to herself,"If I double my hen's allowance of barley,she'll lay twice a day."Therefore,she put her plan to work,and the hen became so fat and contented that it stopped laying altogether.
