The Chicken, Horse, and Harley
On a farm lived a chicken and a horse who 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. Off the chicken ran looking for help, but realized the farmer
had gone to town on the tractor.
Running around, the chicken see's the farmer's new Harley. Finds the
keys in the ignition. The chicken speeds off (with rope) hoping he still
has time to save his friend's life.
Back at the bog, the horse was happy to see the chicken arrive on a
shiny Harley. Chicken ties one end of rope to the back of the Harley and
tosses the other end to his buddy.
The horse manages to get a hold of the rope. 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 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 hangy-down 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? (Yep, you betcha, there IS a moral!
When you're hung like a horse, you don't need a Harley to pick up a
chick.
