- A farmer invited the Minister to dinner one day. He killed two chickens, as he thought one wasn't enough.
When he was eating his dinner, the farmer was called out to a cow. When he came back most of the chickens were gone, and he had only a little bit to get.
When they were all finished the farmer brought the minister out to see the cattle. On there way out the saw another chicken, and the minister said, "What a proud bird"
"Why wouldn't he be, and two of his brothers in the in the Ministry," said the farmer.
