How humans became smart is a story that reminds us who the masters once were.
Did you know that there was once a time when chickens were never eaten? It was a world where chickens were much smarter than humans and things were quite different from how they are today. Chickens were at the top of the food chain, and humans were their favorite meal!
The clever chickens had been setting traps for humans for as long as anyone could remember.
One day, the chickens grew tired of their old ways – They were fed up with setting up trap after trap and chasing after humans all the time.
“Wouldn’t it be easier if we could catch all the humans at once so we never have to run after them every time we needed a meal?” They thought.
So they hatched a grand plan.
The chickens built a gigantic trap, big enough to hold every human in the world. They filled it with delicious seeds and grains, knowing that this irresistible food would lure every human from miles around.
The humans, attracted by the free feast, flocked into the trap, and once they were all inside, the chickens sealed it shut and raised a flag on a tall metal pole to celebrate their victory. The raised flag would also be used to signal all the Chickens the location of their food.
The chickens danced around their trap, thrilled with their cleverness.
But just as they were about to enjoy their triumph, something happened.
A fierce storm rolled in, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling across the sky. Out of the storm, a bolt of lightning struck the trap, and in a flash; the brains of the chickens and the humans switched!
From that moment on, the humans were the ones with all the smarts, and the chickens found themselves with the instincts of humans.
The chickens now enjoyed the seeds and grains, while the humans, with their newfound intelligence, found ways to escape from the trap and live their new lives with their clever minds.
No one has ever been able to undo the effects of that storm since.
Moral: Even the best-laid plans can turn out differently than expected!

One day, the chickens decided that it would be easier for them if they caught all the humans in one go so as to make it easier for them. They were tired of always running after the humans and setting up traps for them. They thought that they would catch all humans once and for all, and all they had to do is feed them until the time when they were ready to be eaten.
The Chickens set up a giant trap, enough to fit all the humans and filled it with their favorite food; seeds and grains. This attracted all the humans from every corner of the earth straight into the trap. All coming for the free food that had been set up for them. Once the humans were inside the trap, the Chickens closed it and raised their flag on a metal pole as a sign of their victory. The flag was also used to signal to all the Chickens the location of their food.
As the Chickens were celebrating their victory, something unbelievable happened; lighting and thunder started striking straight out of the sky and just then, the humans and the Chickens switched brains. From that day, the humans became smart and the Chickens were left to enjoy the seeds and grains.
No one has ever been able to reverse the effects of this lighting and thunder.
Moral: Sometimes even the best-laid plans can take a turn
