The man was waiting to cross the busy road. He was only fifty yards from a proper crossing, but he had elected to cross without assistance.
He glanced down and saw a chicken waiting next to him. It looked up at him.
"Alright, mate," it said.
"You can talk?"
"Well, duh!"
The man thought he was hallucinating. He looked right and then left. There was a heavy volume of traffic moving in both directions.
"What are you doing?" the man asked.
"Waiting to cross the road, just like you."
A lightbulb went off above the man's head, figuratively speaking.
"And why are you crossing the road?" he asked.
The chicken looked up at him and smiled.
"Wouldn't you like to know!" it said.
With that, the chicken raced out into the road and was struck by a bus. It died pretty much instantly.
"Now I'll never know," muttered the man.
He looked right and then left. The traffic wasn't easing. He saw something on the kerb opposite him that caught his attention.
"What the..."
It was an egg with small arms and legs protruding from it. It waved at him.
