Auris Borg thought about the shirt lined with silver that was first prize in the egg-beating contest. He knew that to win, he would have to score something like fifty eggs per minute and since it was the sudden action of his arm which could help him to win, he decided to practice. For this reason he went to the store to buy some eggs. When he came out he tripped and fell down the steep steps and ended up sitting in the street with egg, dust and other stuff all over him. “Just as well it is the Easter season,” he thought, “or I would chase those people over there laughing at me.” But, the simple truth was that Auris, because the egg had dried, could not move and had to sit there embarrassed in the street. prize
