One Sad Dinner

It’s amazing how heartless some people can be. A colleague told me when his girlfriend was about ten, she had a pet chicken. The first thing she would do after coming home from school would be to go in her backyard and play with her chicken. One day she came home and noticed her pet hen was no longer there. Just when she was about to ask her parents where she had gone, they called her inside for dinner. “Eat up!” they said. There was her chicken. Her father had cooked it for dinner.
My colleague told me the experience had affected his girlfriend so much that she avoids the poultry section at the Royal Easter Show. Surprisingly, she still eats chicken.
