Well, the first thing you need to know is this chicken called Grumpy had a hard childhood. His father went with another hen and left him and his mother when he was about to hatch. His mother looked after him for a few years but when Grumpy was 4 years old, his mother sold him into slavery. This is because his mother loved his father so much and she decided to go and find his father without Grumpy as a burden.
He worked as a slave for a few years at a farm located far from the town that he used to live at. The man who owned the farm was very cruel. He tortured all the slave working at his farm. Sometimes he did not even gave them food to eat for two days. Nobody suspected that he had almost a hundred of chicken working for him at the farm due to his outwards appearances he was a kind and successful farmer.
One day, Grumpy felt very fed up with his life as a slave and decided to kill the owner and escape from there. He killed the owner by pecking his jugular vein. He quickly left the farm. Shortly after the owner's family found out who had killed him, they put up a fifty thousand bounty. It was payable to whoever who found him, tortured and killed him. Grumpy was very afraid that he would be found and killed so he went to a town that was very far from the farm.
He changed his name and lived with a new life at the town with the name Snoopy. He worked as a chicken boxer there for a few years. He slowly earned enough money to rent a house there. He even met a nice hen there and started dating with her. After few years, his girlfriend got pregnant. So, he left his job as a chicken boxer and went to find another job. He found a job as a clerk at a company. With this job, he earned a lot of money because his boss was very satisfied with his attitude as a worker and made him the manager of the company.
Two years later, he got two strokes of bad luck. Firstly, his wife left him and took the children with her and went with another chicken. Secondly, his company was going through hard time and bankrupted at last. He had lost his job. That night, he went to drink at a bar and got drunk. He was standing outside the bar and looking at the car passing trough the highway nearby. He felt so desperate. He even wanted to die. Suddenly, a thought came into his mind.
The highway! That was it. He could ran over the road and be 'accidentally' killed. He staggered out over the road, trying to position himself in front of the largest vehicles as possible as he could. All the vehicles avoided him and honk furiously at him. He staggered on and before he realized it he had crossed the road and reached the other side.
This is why did the chicken cross the road...........
