In the ostrich palace, there is a luxurious bed covered with a golden velvet blanket, and on it lies an egg. The ostrich queen is incubating this egg.
The ostrich king happily says, “The great ostrich prince is about to be born. I must make all the necessary preparations for my son.” So, he calls for the minister of construction.
“The prince is very noble; how can he peck open the eggshell himself? Therefore, we must first make a door in the eggshell,” the ostrich king says.
“Yes, yes,” the minister of construction nods repeatedly.
The minister of construction calls in a construction team, which first drills a square hole in the egg with a drill and then uses gold to make a luxurious door, fastening it to the eggshell.
The handle on the door is made of crystal inlaid with gemstones. They even lay out a carpet at the entrance, which stretches all the way to the dining table. This is so that after the prince emerges from the eggshell door, he can walk along the carpet to the dining table to dine.
Of course, a welcoming team is already standing on both sides of the carpet.
Meanwhile, in a poor ostrich family, there are seven eggs in their shabby grass nest—their seven children are also about to be born. At ten o’clock in the morning, there is a cracking sound, and one of the eggs breaks open.
The little ostrich inside uses its head to poke a hole in the eggshell and crawls out. Next, some use their big feet to kick a hole in the eggshell and crawl out. Some use their beaks, some use their rumps to break the shell, and one by one, they all come out.
The seven little ostriches are all so strong, healthy, and brave, marching boldly down the street.
“One, two, one, two!”
Their steps are both orderly and powerful. The seven little ostriches walk all the way to the palace gates and happen to witness the birth of the ostrich prince.
“It’s time. Open the door,” the king orders. Immediately, two soldiers step forward and pull open the pure gold eggshell doors.
Rolling out of the eggshell is a lump of something. Everyone takes a closer look and realizes it is the ostrich prince. To everyone’s shock, the ostrich prince’s legs are lame, and his neck is crooked.
The ostrich prince says, “My legs were crippled by the hammer, and my neck was twisted by the electric drill.”
He glares at his father angrily and, instead of walking along the carpet to dine, hurriedly runs outside.
The ostrich prince runs to join the line of the seven little ostriches, falling in at the end. Now there are eight little ostriches. They continue marching forward in line.
“One, two, one, two!”
The ostrich king and all the ministers are stunned, staring blankly at the prince’s receding figure, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the father of the seven little ostriches says to the ostrich king, “Don’t worry, following my seven children, the ostrich prince will get better.”
