Why did the chicken cross the road? Why, to kill the horrid witch that turned him into a chicken in the first place. All he wanted was the gift of flight. This was not what he had in mind.
She could have turned him into an eagle or a hawk or a massive condor. A bat would have been preferable to this. Being a chicken meant everyone was out to pluck his feathers and turn him into soup for their ailing brother or mother. Though she had allowed him to keep his blessed gift of speech, it did little to stop people. Oh, sure, some would balk or startle enough to let him go, but most shoved him in a cage and talked about the money they’d make. After all, chickens don’t talk.
But now he was almost there. He could see the filthy witch’s hunt just down the lane and across the street.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Revenge.
