Once there lived a young architect. He was kind-hearted and valued everyone. But it so happened that a project came his way that he didn't expect: a chicken coop! The architect rolled up his sleeves and built a house for the chickens. It was beautiful and harmonious, as if he were building for a king. In the ceiling of the chicken coop, the architect drilled ventilation holes in the pattern of our galaxy. He measured the side of the wooden box where the hens lay their eggs to be exactly one meter. And at the entrance, he placed a golden egg and inscribed upon it in ancient Greek: "God always uses geometry." Thus, the chickens and the architect lived happily ever after until the end of their days. And they still live today!
