One day Tom was driving along a country (乡下) road. Suddenly a chicken passed his car. He couldn't believe his1 . How could a chicken run faster than a car?
"I am at 80 miles an hour," Tom thought. "It must be a2 . There isn't a chicken in the world that can run that fast. " He drove much faster and tried to see what happened. Soon, he got to a house. A strong3 was standing outside the house and looking down the road.
Tom4 his car, got out and walked up to the man. "I just saw the most5 thing, "he said to him. "A chicken passed me when I was driving at 80 miles an hour. "
"Ah," the man said, "that was one of6 . "
"One of yours! " Tom shouted, "but7 can any chicken nun that fast?"
"Well, it's like his," the man went on. "People around here like to eat chicken legs, so more legs are in8 . Then as a farmer, I decided I would make more money if I could raise chickens with three legs. I tried and I made it. That third leg9 the chickens so fast. "
"That's very interesting," Tom said. "And what do three-legged chickens10 like?"
"I don't know," the farmer said. "Because I am not able to catch one."
