working as a helper in his house, we can't get enough to eat. By the end of the year, we will count the wages, how much we will lose if a rake loses a tooth, and how much we will lose if a laundry basket wears a corner. After counting, we will never get a few pennies home. All the long-term workers are very dissatisfied, but no one dares to resist, fearing that they will not get a penny in the end, and they will have to swallow their teeth.
it's not dawn yet! It was drizzling again, and Daniel got up to fetch water. Saying this Daniel is the most honest and honest man in the village, and he works the hardest. Other long-term workers call him stupid, and he is also happy: "If you eat from your boss, you should make great efforts to work for others!" Why else would you hire us? " It was dawn, and Daniel came to the well. At this time, a wet rhinoceros jumped out of the well, and the water in the well was muddy yellow by rhinoceros. At first, Daniel was stunned, and immediately subconsciously picked up the broken pole in his hand and chopped it at the back of the cow, while scolding: "Who's calf, taking a bath in the well, how can people drink it!" The rhinoceros suddenly ran away and disappeared. Good, why did the rhinoceros come to the well to take a bath? Daniel didn't think much about it, so he took half a load of water and was ready to go back to cooking. "Hey, it's so easy to pick water back today, as if I didn't pick it. What's the matter?" Daniel scratched his head in disbelief. "It must be because of these two days, the owner has given us extra food. I ate an extra sweet potato yesterday, and my strength has also increased." Thinking of this, Daniel worked harder. For many days in a row, almost all the long-term workers were exhausted after finishing their work, but Daniel was very energetic! I can do twice as much work as usual every day, but the landlord is so happy that Daniel has contracted all the work at home, regardless of the weight.
On this day, a rich man came to the village. To hold a grand bonfire party under the corner of the village, people needed to carry the dry wood bought in the village to the corner of the village. The greedy landlord happened to hear the news, so he sent for Daniel and said confidently to the rich man, "Mr. Rich man, I bet you that there is a long-term worker with endless strength in my family, and it used to take three people to finish the work. Now, as long as you are paid by two people, my parents can pick all the firewood by one person, so don't divide the money if you don't finish picking!" The rich man also wants to see it, so it doesn't hurt to let Daniel have a try! If you don't finish picking, you'll get a labor for nothing. If you finish picking, you'll save a person's wages. Anyway, you won't lose money, so why not?
The sun is going down soon, and the owner is leading the rich man to find someone. Daniel had already finished the firewood, and as soon as he threw the pole, he lay on the haystack and fell asleep. The snoring scared away all the grasshoppers on the grass. When the landlord saw this, he quickly woke Daniel up: "Daniel, wake up! Daniel! Daniel! ... the sun is going down, why are you still lying here sleeping! " Daniel rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned again, rested his hands on his hips and said slowly, "Master, rich man, I've finished all my work! "If you don't believe me, I'll show you around!" Three people then goes to the village corner.
Sure enough, there were rows of piles of good dry firewood beside the big locust tree at the corner of the village. The rich man couldn't help but look at Daniel in doubt, and suddenly his eyes stopped on the pole that Daniel was holding in his left hand. "You look like a good pole, and it can bear loads when bent. I have never seen such a bent pole! It's bent like a bow. Can you show it to me? " The rich man said as he reached out and took the pole: "Is this pole a little old?"
The landlord replied, "This shoulder pole is really far-reaching. It was planed by an old carpenter when my father was alive!"
"Good pole, good pole ..." The rich man murmured and rubbed it gently with his hands. Soon he discovered the mystery of this pole: boy, there is a rhinoceros hair in the crack of the pole! The rich man remembered that he had heard about the fairy rhinoceros from his grandfather before. It is said that this fairy rhinoceros lives in the Fairy River in Mengze. It is powerful and magical, and no one in the world can beat it. However, like ordinary rhinoceros, this fairy rhinoceros likes to roll in the muddy water on earth. The rich man decided that this was fairy rhinoceros hair! Although this Daniel is strong, he doesn't have such divine power. It must be a coincidence that he got the sacred object, so he will have such divine power! The rich man nodded with satisfaction and smiled cunningly: "Brother, this pole of yours is destined for me! Can you sell it to me? I'm willing to pay Daniel three wages. "
the landlord was puzzled when he heard this: "rich man, what do you want with this broken pole? If you want to buy a pole, there are dozens of poles in my house! It's easy to choose your roots, so you can choose whatever you want. "
The rich man thought the landlord wouldn't, so he was anxious: "I like this broken shoulder pole. If you don't have enough money, I'll take today's salary as a deposit, and I'll add Sanshi Valley tomorrow to exchange it." Although the landlord didn't understand the rich man's intention, he immediately agreed to such a generous reward, so they made an appointment to trade at the foot of the village early tomorrow morning.
when he got home, the landlord was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: "It's been a lot of good things recently!" After hearing this, the smart wife of the landlord said excitedly, "Old man, this broken pole is worth Sanshi Valley. If you plane it more smoothly, you can get more food. Then we'll be rich! "
"why didn't I think of that! Old woman, you are still smart! " So the greedy landlord took advantage of the moonlight, planed the pole delicately and smoothly in the yard, carefully smeared a lot of kerosene, and went to sleep with a humming tune.
The next morning, the silly landlord came to the corner of the village with this "good pole". After about a quarter of an hour, the rich man came around with his men carrying three stones of grain from the big locust tree. The landlord happily gave the pole to the rich man. When the rich man saw that the pole had changed beyond recognition, he was so angry that he almost threw it away: "Don't let me exchange your pole for three stones of grain. Now I don't want it for nothing!"
when the landlord understood the reason, he regretted it, but it was too late, and the rich man had already taken the food back with his servants.
