Aesop’s Fable - 2000
On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, who loved to play together. One day, the two were taking turns chasing each other when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Afraid he would drown, the horse whinnied for the chicken to get the farmer to help.
Off trotted the chicken, as fast as her little chicken legs would carry her, back to the farm, but the farmer was no where to be found, having driven into town on his tractor.
Trying to remain calm, the chicken found the keys inside the farmer’s new Z3-series BMW and sped off with a length of rope to rescue her friend.
Quickly reaching the bog, the chicken tossed the rope to her friend who was able to grip the rope in his teeth while the chicken wrapped the other end around the car’s bumper. Driving slowly forward, the chicken and the powerful car pulled the horse safely out of the bog.
The horse and his little friend, the hen, continued to be fast friends until one day the chicken carelessy fell into a mud pit. As she began to sink, she squawked to her friend, the horse, to help her. The horse, thinking quickly, stood over the mud pit and told the hen to grab hold of his ‘thing’. As the horse felt the chicken get a good grip, he was able to step over the mud pit and pull out his friend.
The Moral:
When you’re hung like a horse, you don’t need a BMW to pick up chicks.
