Why do hawks hunt chicks
Once upon time, 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 can not fly as
hight as you can. If you give me
time, I may learn to fly as hight
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 the hen had
already promised to marry a rooster.
So, when the rooster saw the ring, he
became very angry. “Throw that ring
away at once!” shouted the rooster.
The hen was so fightened at the
rooster’s anger that she threw away
the ring immediately.
When the hawk came a few
months 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.
