Nasruddin was carrying a basket full of live chickens to sell at the market. It was a hot day, and he felt sorry for the birds stuffed inside that basket, so he decided to let them out to walk and enjoy the breeze.
When he lets the chickens out, though, they all start running this way and that.
Nasruddin then yelled at the rooster, "Hey there, rooster! You're the man of this family. Do something! You're always bossing everyone around by telling us when to get up in the morning. Now you need to drive those hens to the market!"
