Hen and Envy in the Barnyard Tale Ends in the Axe

A hard working hen with the long distance egg record is mocked by a vain companion who boasts of a glamorous life. The farmer selects the envious hen for slaughter, delivering a grim microcosm of envy and fate. A moral: setting hens seldom fat, but fat hens may meet the ax.
