The Chicken and the Horse

[Ruggybuggy]

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 hold of the

loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
After tying the other end to the rear bumper 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 hangy-down thing

and he would 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 chicks”

That is soooo stupid, it made me smile.

That's a different way to make that point. LOL

(Let me offer my apology first. The following has NOTHING to do with Motorcycles at all... and really shouldn't be here.).

It reminds me of the parable Henry Fonda tells in the obscure western "My Name is Nobody"
here's a paraphrase...

"A newborn birdie is flopping around in his nest when he falls out on to the middle of a dirt road.
The wise cow sees that the birdie will be eaten by the fox, so she walks by
and dumps a big cow pie right on top of him to hide him.

Now the birdie keeps squawking, and when the fox hears this, he comes, pulls the birdie out, and eats him.

Moral of the story?: Not everyone who dumps on you is trying to hurt you, and not everyone who pulls you out of the dump is trying to help you. point is, when you're up to your eyeballs in dump, it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut!"
