  ’Rotten apples? We had only one apple from our apple trees last year. That‘s amazing that he has such a lot of apples. If we use those rotten apples as fertilizer, our trees will bear lots of apples, too.’ The farmer exchanged his hen with the rotten apples.

  Then, he went into the restaurant and had lunch. And he told his story how he happened to exchange one thing and another, and finally he got the rotten apples. An rich old man listened to the farmer‘s story and said, “You are such a hopeless fellow. If you go back to your house, your wife will be mad at you.” “No way. My wife has never been angry at me.” “All right, if your wife will not be angry about your story today, I will give you a package of gold coins.”

  After that, the farmer went back to his house with the old rich man. And he told his wife the whole story about how he came back with the rotten apples. Then, his wife said, “Oh, that’s great. We will have as many apples as those rotten apples.” The farmer‘s wife even smiled happily.

  In the end, the old rich man had to give them a package of gold coins. Therefore the farmer became very rich.
