The story begins by introducing the chicken and its nonsensical \"Tuck-tuck-tuck\" sounds, which the townspeople interpret as meaningful. A clever man arrives and tries to understand the chicken's language, but fails. He then dedicates himself to teaching the chicken to speak human language. After much effort, the chicken finally learns to speak like humans. Once capable of human speech, the chicken immediately proclaims a dire warning: \"The earth is going to swallow us up!\" Initially, the townspeople don't believe the chicken because they are unaccustomed to hearing a chicken speak their language. However, upon hearing the warning a second time, they become terrified. Panic ensues as they exclaim their fears and spread the alarm, believing the chicken's dire prediction. The terrified townsfolk quickly gather their most valuable possessions and flee their homes, migrating from one town to another in a mass exodus driven by the chicken's alarming, albeit misunderstood, pronouncement. The story highlights themes of misunderstanding, fear, and the power of belief, even in the face of absurdity.","The Silly Chicken Idries Shah Jeff Jackson  \nONCE UPON A TIME in a country far away, there was a town, and in the town there was a chicken, and he was a very silly chicken indeed. He went about saying ”Tuck-tuck-tuck, tuck-tuck tuck, tuck-tuck-tuck.” And nobody knew what he meant. Of course, he didn’t mean anything at all, but nobody knew that. They thought that ”Tuck-tuck-tuck, tuck-tucktuck, tuck-tuck-tuck” must mean something.  \n2  \nNow, a very clever man came to the town, and he decided to see if he could find out what the chicken meant by ”Tuck-tuck-tuck, tucktuck-tuck, tuck-tuck-tuck.” First he tried to learn the chicken’s language. He tried, and he tried, and he tried. But all he learned to say was ”Tuck-tuck-tuck, tuck-tuck-tuck, tuck-tucktuck.” Unfortunately, although he sounded just like the chicken, he had no idea what he was saying.  \n4  \nThen he decided to teach the chicken to speak our kind of language. He tried, and he tried, and he tried. It took him quite a longtime, but in the end, the chicken could speak perfectly well, just like you and me .  \nAfter learning to speak as we do, the chicken went into the main street of the town and called out,”The earth is going to swallow us up!” At first the people didn’t hear what he was saying because they didn’t expect a chicken to be talking human language.  \nThe chicken called out again,”The earth is going to swallow us up!” This time the people heard him, and they began to cry out.”Good Heavens!””Good Gracious!””Dear me!””The earth is going to swallow us up!””Yes, indeed! The chicken says so!”  \nThoroughly alarmed, all the people packed up their most precious things and began to run to get away from the earth. They ran from one town ...  \nto another.","cbCainb2vAjw6stI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainb2vAjw6stI","pdf",5842593,2,32,"English","en",105,"# The Silly Chicken\n## The Clever Man's Efforts\n## The Chicken's Warning","[{\"question\":\"What did the silly chicken say?\",\"answer\":\"The silly chicken made a \\\"Tuck-tuck-tuck\\\" sound that no one understood.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the clever man try to do?\",\"answer\":\"The clever man first tried to learn the chicken's language, and then he tried to teach the chicken to speak human language.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the chicken's final warning to the townspeople?\",\"answer\":\"After learning to speak human language, the chicken warned everyone, \\\"The earth is going to swallow us up!\\\"\"}]",1783572204,49,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-silly-chicken","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-silly-chicken/49058/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-12","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What did the silly chicken say?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The silly chicken made a \"Tuck-tuck-tuck\" sound that no one understood.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What did the clever man try to do?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"The clever man first tried to learn the chicken's language, and then he tried to teach the chicken to speak human language.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What was the chicken's final warning to the townspeople?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"After learning to speak human language, the chicken warned everyone, \"The earth is going to swallow us up!\"","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
