A farmer rears twenty-five young hens and one old cock. As he feels that the old cock could no longer handle his job efficiently, the farmer brought one young cock from the market.
Old cock : Welcome to join me, we will work together towards productivity
Young cock : What you mean? As far as I know, you are old and should be retired
Old cock : Young man, there are twenty-five hens here, can’t I help you with some?
Young cock : No! Not even one, all of them will be mine.
Old cock : In this case, I shall challenge you to a competition and if I win you shall allow me to have one hen and if I loose you have all.
Young cock : OK! Whats the competition?
Old cock : 50 meters run. From here to that tree. But due to my age, I hope you allow me to start off the first 10 meters.
Young cock : No problem! We will compete tomorrow morning.
Confidently, the following morning, the Young cock allows the Old cock to start off and when the Old cock crosses the 10 meters mark the Young cock chases him with all his might.
Soon enough, he was behind the Old cock back in a matter of seconds.
Suddenly, Bang!!!
Before he could overtake the old cock, he was shot dead by the farmer, who cursed,
“Hell!! This the fifth gay chick I’ve bought this week!”
Deep Tots :
Dont brace yourself to compete with a wise man for you will end up getting Bang!!! Even before you reach the end line. The only competiion worthit is with himself. Dont crow too often young cocks.
Dear Tun Mahathir.. this one for you. Great minds discuss ideas; Small ones, Askew.
