The broken egg

the broken egg story

“I have no eggs for breakfast, Mr. Brown, ”said Mrs. Brown to her husband early one morning, “so if you want your egg today, you’ll have to go over to our neighbor and ask for two eggs, one for you and one for me.”

“Yes my dear,” said Mr. Brown and he went next door and got two eggs. Since it had been raining, the path was wet. On his way back to his house, he slipped and fell, breaking one of the two eggs.

When he got home, he said to his wife, “I had an accident. I’m sorry, my dear, but I broke your egg!”
