Write a story that clearly illustrates the saying do not count your chicken before they are hatched

English

fgiga [73]2 years ago

Answer:I probably know that chickens come from eggs. A female chicken or hen lays eggs and then they hatch into chicks. Well, not all of them. Some eggs do not have a baby bird.

So, at our farm, a hen produces 15 eggs. If the farmer counts the eggs, she might expect to have 15 chicks once the eggs are hatched. But then five of those eggs do not hatch. Her expectations were not met, so she feels disappointed. She tells her friend how sad she feels. The friend may say to her, “Well, don’t count your chicken before they hatch.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched.”

So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn’t happened. Another meaning of this proverb is this: Do not assume to have everything you want until you actually have it in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the folklore part of our explanation.

“Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched” is a very old saying. Language experts say it appears in different forms and in many different cultures. It is also used in Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories from between 1,300 and 1,400 years ago.

The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.” A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head. As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich. So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens. With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

With lots of money, the milkmaid could shake her head “no” to all the men in her village who wanted her hand in marriage. The young woman was so caught up in her thoughts that she actually shook her head “no.” This caused the pail of milk to fall from her head and crash to the ground. Along with it -- her dreams of becoming rich and independent.

What text feature does the passage include? Which statement best explains the function of this text feature?.
Mila [183]

The text feature that is presented is the text component, which is outside the main structure of the text.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A text feature is an element added to a text to extend the understanding of the text when reading.
  • This element is placed outside the structure/body of the text and is presented as an attachment, an addition that despite belonging to the text is separate from it.

Some examples of text features are illustrations, photographs, graphics, headers, attachments, glossary, diagram, captions, bold words, among others.

Your question is incomplete as you have not shown the text it refers to. This makes it impossible for me to provide an accurate answer, but I hope the above information will help you.
