On the farm lived a chicken and a donkey, both of whom loved to play
together. One day, the two were playing when the donkey fell into a bog
and began to sink. Scared for his life, the donkey 'hee hawed' 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 Z-3 silver BMW.
Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken started the beautiful
motor car and 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 donkey
was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive in the shiny BMW,
and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to
him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's car,
the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful
car, rescued the donkey!
Happy
And proud, the chicken drove the BMW 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,
would you believe, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too,
began to sink and cried out to the donkey to save his life! The donkey
thought for a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.
Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his "thing" and he would
then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good grip, and the
donkey pulled him up and out, saving his life.
And the moral of the story?
When you're hung like a donkey, you don't need a BMW to pick up a chick.
