Once upon a time there lived a poor man named Malcolm who hunted for his food. One warm spring day, Malcolm had been         for many hours, and he was hot and tired and hungry. He hadn’t    even a mouse. When he came upon a big tree, he sat down under its     to rest. Suddenly he found a big ostrich (鸵鸟) egg beside the tree. He    the egg and carried it back to his hut (小屋).

The egg was so white and round, pure and beautiful that he couldn’t    eating it. So he put the egg on the table and went to sleep.

The next morning when he woke up, he was    to find bread and soup on his table. He was so hungry, so he tore off a piece and ate it. “I’ve never     anything so delicious,” he said aloud. Then he heard a voice answer, “It’s bread and soup I’ve made for you.”

He turned to find a beautiful woman standing beside the ostrich egg,    was cracked wide open. “Malcolm, you are a kind and generous man, and I will make you        for the rest of your life.    me and I will always make delicious food for you.”

“How can this be? An ostrich egg’s    cannot speak or cook or marry me,” he said.

“I will make you happy, Malcolm,” she said, “You must    only this: you will never call me the daughter of an ostrich egg.”

“I promise,” Malcolm said.

And so they got married. For many years they lived    great happiness. His wife brought him   , goats and made him a chief. But one day, Malcolm got so    that he was not      with what he had. He quarreled with his     . He said his wife was the daughter of an ostrich egg… And    he was alone again, living in his hut,    his old clothes. There were no cattle, no goats and no wife.
