There was once this poor farmer who couldn't make any money growing grain crops. However, his neighbor across the street was doing very well raising chickens and selling the eggs. One day when visiting, the neighbor suggested that he could make money too by having chickens. The poor farmer agreed and purchased a nice hen, just to see how it went. Well after a while the hen got comfortable and found plenty of grain to eat and started laying eggs. A few weeks went by and the hen noticed this rooster across the street. He was a vary handsome rooster and every day would go in to the hen house and chase the hens around. All the hens seemed very happy and the rooster seemed very happy too. Well, the hen decided to strike up an acquaintance with the rooster and started feeding by the road. After a while the rooster also started scratching by the road. After a few days the hen could not control her self and decided to take the matters in hand (so to speak) and started out across the road to see the rooster. Just then a truck came by at full speed and struck the hen. Laying by the side of the road she thought to herself "WHAT A ROOSTER"! -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
