Chicken and A Typewriter
When I was in First grade and in love with the teacher with the Bird's Nest hair-do, I pulled a prank on a class mate and neighbor. I told him my cousins, whom I was staying with, had some very smart chickens. "So smart, that any one of them can spell your name!" Donny didn't believe a word of it. I said, "yeah it's true. Of course they can't hold a pencil, but they can type very accurately." I said I could prove it, and then bet him a dollar!
Donny took me up on my bet and got off at my bus stop quite a few blocks away from his. It would be worth it, I told him, If I was lying, he would get a dollar, and if I was telling the truth, he would see an amazing chicken, who could spell his name. He had nothing to lose!
He waited on Auntie Net's back porch as I retrieved the Underwood typewriter with a single piece of paper already in place. I put the typewriter on the ground and lured some chickens over with a can of corn, telling them I needed one of them to spell Donny's name..."After all," I told Donny, "you can't expect them to work for nothing!"
Donny watched as I put a kernel of corn on the D key. The closest chicken quickly pecked that piece of corn typing out the letter D. Donny groaned as I put another piece of corn on the O key... He knew he had been taken, and reluctantly handed me his dollar as he headed down the street.
