Logo for Afternoon Reading - Alan Sillitoe Short Stories - Chicken

Philip Jackson reads a selection of stories by the best-selling author. Dave finds a live chicken which has fallen off a truck. He scoops it up and takes it home to his mother, hoping for a delicious supper. His slaughtering technique, however, leaves a lot to be desired, and the chicken - head or no head - seems to have a mind of its own.
