Anecdotal allusions

Once, when it was time for dinner, Edison still didn't come back. My parents are worried and look around. It was not until the evening that I found him in the hut next to the yard. When his father saw him lying motionless in a haystack full of eggs, he asked Edison what he was doing. Little Edison replied that he was incubating chickens. It turned out that he was surprised to see that hens could hatch chicks, and he always wanted to try it himself.

At that time, his father pulled him up with anger and laughter and told others that chickens could not be hatched. On the way home, he asked inexplicably, "Why can hens hatch chicks and I can't?"
