Doc Tinker was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred
young layers, called pullets, and eight or ten roosters, whose jobs were
to fertilize the eggs. Doc kept records, and any rooster or pullet that
didn't perform well went into the pot, and was replaced. That took an awful
lot of time, so Doc got a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by
listening to the bells.
Doc's favorite rooster was old Brewster. A very fine specimen he
was too, only his bell had not rung all morning! Doc went to investigate.
Several roosters were chasing pullets, bells a-ringing! BUT-Brewster had
his bell in his beak so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his
job and walk on to the next one. Doc was so proud of Brewster that he
entered him in the Fayette County fair.
Brewster was an overnight sensation!!
The judges not only awarded him the No Bell Piece Prize; he was
also given the Pulletsurprise
