Why Do Hawks Hunt Chick?


Once upon atime, a hawk fell in love with a hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and asked the hen, “will you marry me?”
The hen loved the brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him. But she said,”I cannot fly as high as you can. If you can give me time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then we can fly together.”
The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. “This is to show that you have promised to marry me.”said the hawk”
It so happened that hen had already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster saw the ring, he bacame very angry. “Throw that ring away at once”shouted the rooster. The hen was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring immediately.
When the hawk came a few monts later, the hen told him the truth. The hawk was so furious that he cursed the hen, “why didn’t you tell me earlier? Now, you’ll always be scratching the earth, and I’ll always be flying above to catch your children said the hawk.
