During a famine, Fortune loses her parents and is sent to live with Aunt San. After accidentally knocking over a pot of mushroom soup, she is abandoned outside by the cruel Aunt San. The kind couple from the Mun Household takes the orphaned Fortune in, but with food supplies scarce, they can only offer her half a bowl of thin porridge. Fortune has the special ability to understand what animals are saying. Guided by a small mouse, she finds hidden rice, so the whole family can eat proper meals. When others dismiss a sickly hen, Fortune insists on keeping it, and it turns out the hen lays an extraordinary number of eggs. Using this unique skill, Fortune slowly helps the family she loves get enough food and live a stable life.
