Q: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

A: To get to the bus stop so he could board the taxi-be.

On Saturday we were riding the local taxi-be (bus). When we stopped at a bus stop, I got up to move seats. That's when I heard a loud squawk in the seat next me. I looked over and noticed a chicken nestled between the legs of his owner. There was a woman and a child seated next to the man but neither seemed to notice the chicken. Having poultry on the bus is just part of everyday life in Madagascar. Someone was going to have a nice dinner but first he had to carry him home. I wonder if there is bus fare for chickens...
