"The Farmer and the New Rooster"
A gentleman had a small farm where he raised
chickens. There were quite a few hens in the
farm, and just one rooster. As the rooster was
getting older, the gentleman started to look for
a replacement.
One day he goes to the market, buys a healthy
young rooster, and brings it to his farm. The
old rooster sees the newcomer, approaches him
and says "Hey, listen, the owner of this farm must
think that I'm getting too old for the job; he keeps
bringing you young guys to the farm. But I'm in
an excellent shape! I'll prove this to you: I
challenge you to a race."
"But you are really old, this wouldn't be a fair race."
"That's not a problem. Just wait a little in the
beginning, so I start earlier and run in front of you."
These conditions seem acceptable to the young
rooster, so they start the race. The farmer hears
the commotion, so he looks out his window and
sees the old rooster running with the young one
running behind him. He grabs gun, hurries
outside and shoots the young rooster.
"I don't know what is happening these days," he
says to his wife, "That's the fourth gay rooster
I've bought this month!"
