Collective Punishment

Collective Punishment A bird farmer had a stroke, paralyzed saw himself being watched by a Plymouth hen, it sat on the sill moving its head sideways as birds tend to do. When satisfied that the man was lame it jumped on to his bed, pecked and slurped up his eyes like they should be soft boiled eggs, then left. The farmer lived, but since he could not see or find the eye eater, he ordered all birds and their eggs destroyed, and hen houses bulldozed; alas, a few birds escaped. The farmer planted sunflower on his land, the survivors thrive at the edge of it, one of them is a big, red Plymouth hen.
