    Farmer John woke up to another day on his farm. His routine was simple, feed the animals, tend to the crops, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

    One morning, while feeding the livestock, John noticed an odd creature. It looked like a chicken but with the size and body of a cow.

    The creature was friendly, responding to John's calls and even letting him pet it. He named it 'Miracle', for it was nothing less than a miracle.

    Miracle laid eggs, big ones, and had milk like a cow. The eggs tasted better than any chicken eggs, and the milk was the creamiest.

    John decided to sell Miracle's eggs and milk at the local market. The townsfolk were curious and soon, they were sold out.
