John is standing in a queue at the back of a truck. The truck is full of bags.
“Hares for the price of a chicken. Only here. Only today,” a man in hunter uniform shouts. “We have just come from the hunt and look at the size of these,” the man says and lifts up a truly big dead hare.
It is John’s turn. He pays for the hare that is in the bag on the truck. John is happy he could buy the hare for the price of a chicken. Usually, they cost three times that much.
“Look at what I have got,” John says and opens the bag and shows his wife the content of the bag. “What do you say?”
“Why did you bring home a dead cat?”
“What?” John asks and looks into the bag. “Damn it!” he shouts. He takes the bag and runs towards the hunters. He can see the truck leaving. Several people are running after the truck. Some of them throw bags of dead cats after them.
