Simple Lifestyle

Having retired from the heady world of football, David decides that it is time to take his family to the countryside and follow a simpler lifestyle. He decides to rear his own chickens. It turns out that his neighbour is also a chicken farmer.

"I'll tell you what," says the neighbour to David. "Chicken farming isn't easy. To help you get started, I'll give you a hundred chickens."

"That's very kind of you," says David and takes his hundred chickens.

Next day, the neighbour stops by and asks how things are going.

"Not too well," David's forced to admit. "All the chickens are dead."

"Really! That is strange. But never mind, I'll give you another hundred chickens. See how you get on with those."

So David takes another hundred chickens, but when the neighbour stops by again the next day, he has to say that these chickens have died too.

"What do you think is going wrong?" asks the neighbour.

"Well, I'm not sure," replies David. "But I think I might be planting them too close together."
