Chicken story


Zebediah was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young
layers, called pullets, and eight or ten roosters, whose jobs were to
fertilize the eggs. Zeb kept records, and any rooster or pullet that
didn't perform well went into the pot, and was replaced. That took an
awful
lot of time, so Zeb got a set of tiny bells and attached them to his
roosters. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report
simply by listening to the bells.

Zeb's favorite rooster was old Brewster. A very fine specimen he was too,
only his bell had not rung all morning! Zeb went to investigate. Several
roosters were chasing pullets, bells a-ringing! BUT, Brewster had his
bell in his beak so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his
job and walk on to the next one. Zeb was so proud of Brewster that he entered
him in the county fair. Brewster was an overnight sensation!!

The judges not only awarded him the No Bell Piece Prize; he was also
given the - -
