The Chicken and
the Horse
On the farm lived a
chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together
One day, the two were playing
when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Scared for his life, the
horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help!
Off the chicken ran, back to the
farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but
to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor. Running
around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley. Finding the keys in the
ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to
save his friend's life.
Back at the bog, the horse was
surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he
managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him. After
tying the other end to the rear of the farmer's bike, the chicken then drove
slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse!
Happy and proud, the chicken rode
the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he
returned. The friendship between the two animals was cemented: best
buddies, best pals.
A few weeks later, the chicken
fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse
to save his life! The horse thought a moment, walked over and straddled
the large puddle. Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his
"thing" and he would then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good
grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story? (Yes,
there's a moral)
"When
you're hung like a horse, you don't need a Harley to pick up chicks."
