"Why the Chicken Crossed the Road ", by Brandon Markowski, age 10
Intro
"Hello my name is Intro. Everyone has wanted to know why the chicken crossed the road. To get to the other side, right... wrong. There have been many reasons why the chicken crossed but I know the real reason. Not to get to the other side... well that's one reason. And it isn't because his wife was there either. The chicken doesn't even have a wife. They should just stop trying to make things up. I mean it's not funny that the chicken is in the chicken coop thinking, ‘Why are they saying all that about me? It's not funny, not funny at all. Why, why, why?’ I mean if you want him to keep thinking, ‘Humans are so mean to us chicken they keep picking on us,’ then just be mean away. But this is the chicken's story as to why he crossed the road."
Chapter I
"Hello I am Mr. Yoyo. I am that chicken that you have been saying crossed the road to get to the other side. Well that's not true! I spit on that expression. Even my friends hate that expression. Ok, time to get to my side of the story. Unlike that Intro, I do have a wife, but at that time she was just my girlfriend. She said the only way she would marry me was if I crossed the biggest road, and that road was the busiest street in the world. But I had to do it if I wanted to marry her ever since I laid my little tiny eyes on her. Oh, and what ever my friends say isn't true. So then I crossed and she said that she would marry me. And please don't ask my wife. Over the years she got a little paranoid."
"Yoyo, get over here now. There is a nice man here to meet us."
"Yes dear. See I told you she was paranoid."
Chapter II
"Hello I'm Mrs. Yoyo but you can call me Stacy. Did my husband say I was paranoid? If he did then he is going to be the human's dinner next. I'm not paranoid... wait, I am because I chose to marry that nitwit. There are so many handsome chickens out there but I chose him. I know I should have married the first man. He was so handsome. Wait, I'm sorry, I'm getting off track. I'm not usually like this. I'm just so angry that he would say it was my fault that he almost died for me. Oh, sorry I wasn't supposed to say that. I guess it just slipped out. Now he thinks I'm going to be the human's next meal. Tell the true reason. It is because of the first man. We just got married and we were on our honeymoon. Well, that first man dared my husband to cross the biggest and busiest road in the world. The first time he crossed the road he only came close to getting hit by one car. But the second time all the cars almost hit him. The best man was dead after the second time my husband went by. Well that's my story.
Chapter III
"Hello my name is Mr. Coco Short. I'm Mr. and Yoyo's best man. And this is my story for why Yoyo crossed the road. They have a child, in which case they have a godfather. And the day they had their baby the godfather dared Yoyo to cross the biggest and busiest road in the road. He did it but when he went over Stacy called from their house and said to go home. While he was standing in the middle of the road he saw a truck coming and he tried to run. But he was always so slow and fat. He was too slow and got his wing ran over. After that he couldn't fly for a week and his wife would yell and yell and yell at him, but all he did was eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. The funny part was he never got sick. It's like he has three stomachs or something. Well that's my story.”
Chapter IV
"Hello my name is Joanne for short. Whatever Coco said is not true. He is a disgrace to the family blaming what happened to Yoyo on me the godfather. I'm trusted to take care of the child. I don't think that I would do such a thing to Yoyo. I would die before I betrayed my family. Okay I wouldn't die and I would do it they gave me 300 bucks... just kidding. No seriously I would never betray my family. But the one who would betray the family is the best women. She shouldn't even be the best women. What she did was the day of the marriage, on the honeymoon, she dared Yoyo to cross the biggest and busiest street in the world. When he did she was sitting there going, ‘Loser, loser, loser, you can't make it over the road without getting ran over ha ha ha ha haaaaaa.’ Meanwhile I'm saying don't listen to her. And that's who did it. It was the best women.
