 Thulani wants a simple life basking in the sun. Tired of milking the cow, he exchanges it for a goat … the goat for a sheep … the sheep for three geese … until all he has left is a pocket of sunflower seeds. But the sunflower seeds feed the hens, the hens lay more eggs than ever, and soon Thulani is enjoying his new-found fortune.
