Now, the Rooster.
While the two farmers were sipping their refreshments, the guest mentioned that he needed to get a rooster if he was going to keep any chickens.
At that, the entertainer said he had a rooster, and people that have seen it agree it's the most prolific they seen. The host looked at his watch, and said that since it was late, about an hour til sundown, he could show it to his visitor. The visitant agreed that he would like to see the chanticleer.
They both discussed the weather as they strolled to the barn. As the agronomist begain to open the barn door, out shot the bird to be observed. The cockeral quickly took to copulating with the chickens, and after he finished with each one, they would high-tail-it into the barn. when there where no more chickens to be found in the yard, he started on the bulls and all the cows. Then he did the stallions, and all the mares.
Next were the sheep, the goats, and the pigs. Soon all the animals were in the barn, except the rooster, which then strutted to the center of an open area, fell over, and laid there motionless in a puff of dust.
From in the farmhouse, the two had watched what seemed to the partaker of the hospitity to be an ending. The caller then expressed his amazment, but added he didn't think the rooster to be of much use now that he was dead.
The husband then pointed through his window to the birds in the heavens, and said, he's just waiting for one of those bussards to get close enough. It will be dusk soon, he will then go back in the barn, the animals will come out, then it will be safe to go out again. Something to eat?
