Folktale: the greedy old woman

As I said before: Haha, this story was told by my mother to my son, and then my two-year-old son repeated it to me. I remembered it recently, so I edited it. I can't help laughing every time I think about it.

There was an old woman who had no children or daughters, and it was hard to live alone.

The old woman is too old to work in the fields, so she planted some sorghum in front of her house to make a living.

Sorghum's head is hanging high, and it's time to harvest. The old woman is going to let it stay for a few more days to make the sorghum grow fuller.

Unexpectedly, the next day, sorghum was gone. Seeing that the only rations are gone. The old woman couldn't help feeling sad and began to cry.

Then an eagle flew over and asked the old woman why she was crying here. The old woman said that she planted several sorghum trees to make a living.

Unexpectedly, when I saw it this morning, the sorghum was gone. This is the only thing I can eat, and now I can't live without it.

The eagle told the old woman that her sorghum was eaten by herself, but it could help her.

The eagle asked the old woman to take a bag home, then closed her eyes and sat on her back.

The old woman sat on the eagle's back, afraid to open her eyes or move, feeling that she had been flying for a long time. The eagle said, open your eyes, old man.

The old woman opened her eyes and found that her eyes were full of gold. It turns out that the eagle is a golden eagle guarding the golden hill on the sun.

Today, I came to the world out of curiosity and stole the old woman's sorghum. The Golden Eagle sympathized with the old woman's experience and took her to Jinshan. Let her pick up some golden beans and go home to make a living.

The old woman had never seen so much gold, and her eyes suddenly lit up, forgetting the warning that the golden eagle could not stay too long.

I kept putting golden beans in my bag and a small bag. The golden eagle asked, "Are you ready, old woman?" The old lady kept moving her hand and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute ..."

After a while, the golden eagle asked the old woman how she was, but the old woman still said wait.

Waiting and waiting, the golden eagle was asked many times, but the old woman still refused to leave.

Finally, because the temperature was too high, the greedy old woman was sunburned and could no longer take away the golden beans she had picked up.
