Jack was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers, called pullets, and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs.
Jack kept records, and any rooster or pullet that didn't perform well went into the dinner pot, and was replaced. That took an awful lot of time, so Jack 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.
Jack's favorite rooster was old Brewster. A very fine specimen he was too, only his bell had not rung all morning! Jack 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. Jack was so proud of Brewster that he entered him in the county fair.
Brewster was an overnight sensation!
The judges not only awarded him...The No Bell Piece Prize, but also...The Pullet Surprise!
