Gold Rush

There was once a poor chicken farmer who lived on his farm with his wife.

One day, the farmer noticed one of the young chickens had a broken leg. As he cared for his chickens, he decided to wrap the chicken up and carry it in a sling on his back.

The next day, he was at a shop nearby and he heard rumors about some gold diggers finding gold near his farm. With the chicken on his back and a shovel in his hand, he decided to try to try his luck. While walking along a path, the chicken started clucking quite loudly, so he set stuck the shovel in the ground and went to see what was wrong with the chicken. The shovel fell over and revealed a gold nugget right where he stuck the shovel!

He ran home to his wife and told her what happened, and how he believe the chicken had a sixth sense for finding gold. They were so happy that they spent all their gold on a lot of cows to expand their farm.

The next day the farmer went up the path again with the same chicken and some travelling equipment. He searched and searched for days and the chicken made no sound. He finally gave up and went home. When he reached his farm, he saw his wife crying, and cows were dead everywhere.

"What happened to the cows?" asked the farmer.

"I don't know, they must have been sick when we got them. They all died last night. Please tell me you and your chicken found more gold." said the farmer's wife.

"No, I found nothing." said the farmer.

"We spent all our money on cows and now we're broke. Why haven't you found any more gold?" She said, hysterically.

"I don't have a clucking clue" said the farmer.
