So the farmer decided that the bird has passed her best therefore he bought a strutting young rooster to replace him.”This should keep the hens happy” contended the farmer as he introduced the handsome newcomer.
The old rooster was furious and was determined not to given in without a fight. So he challenged the youngster to a race of three laps of the farm yard.
“OK, you’re on” said the virile young rooster . “ I can out-run, you old cock, any time”
“ If you are so confident “replied the old rooster “you won’t mind giving me a head start, After all your legs are much younger than mine.
“No problem” exuberated the young rooster. You can have half the lap start and I will still beat you
The race began in earnest with the old rooster hotly pursued round the yard by his young rival. Hearing the commotion, the farmer ran out to investigate. Seeing the two roosters, he immediately [picked up his rifle and shot the chasing young bird dead. “Damn” groaned the farmer, “That’s the third gay rooster I’ve bought this month”
