Why do Hawks Hunt Chicks.
Once upon time, a hawk fell in love with a
hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and
asked the hen ,” Won’t you marry me ?”
The hen loved the brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him. But she
said,” I can not fly as high as you can. If you give me time, I may learn to
fly as high as you. Then we can fly together The
hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring.” This is to show that
you have promised to marry me,” said the hawk.

So, when the rooster saw the ring, he became very angry. “ Throw that ring away
at once !” shouted the rooster. Then she
was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring immediately.
