"My Brother's Peculiar Chicken (Alejandro R. Roces)"
This is one of the stories written by Alejandro R. Roces , a Filipino writer, this story is about the chicken that was found by the two brother. They are fighting about the gender of the chicken whether its a hen or rooster. The older brother tells that its a hen but the younger tells it is not. The chicken was very peculiar because it has both the characteristic of hen and a rooster. The two brother had a deal that if the chicken win in a cockfight then they will consider it as a rooster, when the fight comes the chicken defeats the other chicken in just one lunge. When they already decided that the chicken is a rooster the chicken suddenly laid an egg making it a she.
As you can see here the them of the story is "There are things that are not real as they seems to be" , You can't judge something just because of its physical characteristics , you should always look inside of it and have a deep understanding.
