The Chicken and the Pig
Damn, that's a lot fucking darker than I'd thought it'd get on reading the title of the fable.
It was actually in my management textbook XD
I heard of it from a Reddit comment about an easter egg location in Diablo 3 called "The Fowl Lair." It's filled with chickens and a single Greasy Pig.
I think it'd be rarer to find a fable that wasn't dark.
Tortoise and the hare isn't particularly dark.
You obviously didn't read the version where the hare gets eaten.
Tortoise kills hare in horrifying video. More at 6.
Edit: it was a seabird
I know it's not the point, but I love the completely arbitrary bit where they're walking down a road together, and has absolutely no bearing on anything the happens.
It has one bearing: it puts them in the same location together
Substitute “walking down a road” with: “having dinner at a conference”, “chatting over lattes at the local coffee shop”, or “at a neighborhood cookout” as makes sense.
So this pig is fucking a chicken, and the chicken says...
…stop cluckin around back here! We’ve got customers to serve.
