（单词翻译:单击）

A man was driving down a quiet country lane when out into the road strayed a rooster.

Whack¹! The rooster disappeared under the car in a cloud of feathers.

Shaken, the man pulled over at the farmhouse² and rang the doorbell.

A farmer appeared. The man somewhat nervously³ said, "I think I killed your rooster, please allow me to replace him."

"Suit yourself," the farmer replied, "the hens are round the back."
