The Chicken Sees

There was a guru who one morning gave each of his 2 disciples a chicken.

He told them, "Each of you, go now and take your chicken to a place where no one will see, kill it and return to me."

The men walked away into the forest.

After a brief time one of the disciples returned with a dead chicken and presented it to the guru. Day turned into night and then into day. The guru waited. Just around sunset, the second disciple returned carrying the chicken that he had been given. It was very much alive.

The guru looked at him and said, "I told you to go to a place where no one will see and kill the chicken."

The man hung his head and replied, "Yes, Guruji. But everywhere I go, the chicken sees."
