On another occasion a pedlar answered:

"A golden rooster I haven't seen, but I have something much better.

If you drink this potion all the eggs you touch will change into gold!!

How do you like that?

If you also buy this syrup against large feet I can give you a reduction.

In stead of 70 yeng you only pay 55 yeng, or in natura 55 times two-and-a-half equals 130 eggs"

"No thanks", answered the poor farmer. "I have plenty of eggs."
