The Chicken Farmer

Have I ever told you a story about the chicken farmer? No?

Okay, not so long ago a man made a deal with a shadowy figure.

The summary of the deal was that the man would be the greatest chicken farmer who ever lived. He would achieve this by "receiving" visions about the business in advance. Though and as usual the shadowy figure had one condition.

He would have to eat his chicken in order to "receive" a vision. True to their word, as soon as he fed on one of his chickens he "received" guidance on how to grow his farm. Sooner rather than later he became the largest chicken farmer in his country.

Time went by. Profits rolled in, profits rolled out. He was unstoppable. You know humans, enough is a myth! No human in the world that can have enough of anything. Absolutely no human.

So while sitting at the top of the world he ate one of his chickens and true to their word, he "received" another vision. The vision however was about a cock from a slightly distant village who could fertilize every one of his chicken in a day without getting tired 🤣🤣🤣 or everything would collapse.

If every single day the cock fertilized every of his chicken he would be more than 21 times profitable. He would no longer be a chicken farmer but the chicken legend! So he sent his most trusted to fetch the cock. He sent his wife. So as not to trigger suspicion and raise a price war he hid his true intentions and told her that he wanted to taste flavour from a distant village as he had gotten used to the taste of his chicken. He gave her the description of the cock and asked her to use public transport.

She went. She arrived. She got the cock 🐓 at the usual low cost of nothing against her husbands wealth. She went to the stage it was barely afternoon. All she had to do was get back home. But every time a matatu came by the conductor said "You cannot get in with a live cock" 😭😭😭

Minutes turned into hours and the conductors were relentless with their condition. You cannot get in with a live cock 🐓. Evening arrived and the old lady was tired and had had enough. When the last matatu came by and the conductor shouted his condition, she snapped and snapped the cocks head 😳😳😳
