Allusion-Innocent and curious hatching of chicks

Once, when it was time to eat, Edison still did not come back, and his parents were very anxious and confused. We searched for him and found him in the hay shed next to the yard in the evening. When his father saw him lying motionless in the haystack with many eggs, he asked Edison what he was doing. Little Edison replied that he was hatching chicks. It turned out that he saw a hen hatching chicks and found it strange. Give it a try yourself too. At that time, his father pulled him up angrily and laughed, telling others that chicks would not be hatched. On the way home, he asked in confusion: "Why can hens hatch chicks, but I can't?"
