Chickens are one of many delicious foods for humans, and this happened long times ago. And, chickens are now still eaten by humans.

One day, many thousand years ago, Chickens had tried not to be eaten by humans. The only one God whom they thought could help them was the Indra because, at that time, the fates of all animals would be decided by the Indra.

So the chickens from everywhere convened a big meeting and agreed that they had to make a request to the Indra to save them. Then they appointed a handsome Cock to fulfill a mission, that is, to lobby the Indra for a decision to ban the humans from eating Chickens.

The Appointed Cock drew a picture of the Indra in order to show the chickens’ respect and to please the Indra. The picture looked graceful. Then he went to see the Indra to make the request and to get help.

At the Indra’s palace, the Cock was stopped at the door by the guards who told him that he could not meet the Indra now, as he was having lunch.

While waiting for the Indra to finish his lunch, the Cock walked around to where the Indra was eating, and peeped at the Indra through a small hole in the wall.

The Cock collapsed several times, and almost passed out before he could stand up unsteadily.

There, with his own eyes, he saw the Indra eating chickens. He run and flew back swiftly to his Chicken Community. The Chickens’ struggle was in vein, and Humans continue eating chickens.
