Archeological dig uncovers the remains of a great leader....

After researching some old photographs we decided to try and dig up the dead bird. Unfortunately, our first try was a failure and our hopes were fading. However, after surveying the ground we noticed a small patch of ground that looked suspicious. I dug and dug.... and dug... until I finally heard a small scraping sound. I continued to carefully dig and discovered that I had hit the lid of the tomb.

A little wet and a lot funky: )

Unfortunately a cow had stepped on the shallow grave shortly after we had buried King Kluck and broke the lid. This caused his tomb to fill up with water. Can anyone guess what a year old mummified chicken smells like after it's been sitting in rancid water?... yeah it wasn't good.

His shallow grave... apparently it was too shallow.

We did find the stories still intact and I have decided to place the winning Narrative in this column.

King Kluck

by D. L. (5th Grade)

Once upon a time there was a chicken inside an egg that lived on a farm. The farmer was Ray Huff (aka Mr. Huff). Mr. Huff was a mean and cruel farmer and would hang the chickens on a wire and eat them.

One day the chicken hatched and wanted revenge on Mr. Huff for chopping his mothers head off and eating her. So he said "I will chop Mr. Huff's head off and eat his spleen!... Mu hahahaaa". So the evil little chicken put a spell on Mr. Huff to be fat and ugly.

So one day the big, fat, and ugly Mr. Huff decided to move to Egypt because he thought he could be emperor but when he got there the pharaoh said, "Who would want a fat and ugly emperor with a name like Ray Huff. I mean are you mentally ill? You're not even Egyptian!"

So when Mr. Huff started to cry and walk away the pharaoh said, "Who is that by your side" and Mr. Huff said, "It is my chicken who is cooler than I".

Then the pharaoh said, "Bring me that chicken. He shall be king and we shall call him King Cock-a-doodle-doo, NO!!!... we shall call him King Farm Poo!"

All of a sudden the chicken said, "CALL ME KING KLUCK YOU IDIOT!"

So the chicken ate Mr. Huff's spleen that night and the chicken was the best emperor of humans and chickens and he ruled Egypt for one day. Then he saw Mr. Huffs heart but only it was not a heart it was a one way black hole to Tyson Chicken and so Mr. Huff came back to life and sucked the chicken through his heart and then went to Tyson and bought him.
