 CONFLICT

1. Man versus Man

• My brother Kiko once had a very
peculiar chicken. It was peculiar because
no one could tell whether it was a rooster or
a hen. My brother claimed it was a rooster. I
claimed it was a hen. We almost got
whipped trying to settle the argument.
Man versus Man

• Before Kiko and I realized

what had happened to
Father and Mother were
arguing about the chicken
all by themselves. Soon
Mother was crying. She
always cried when argued
with Father.
2. Man versus Circumstances
• My brother would not listen.
The match was made and the
birds were headed for the
killing. Sharp steel gaffs wrer
tied to their left legs. Everyone
wanted to bet on the red
gamecock. The fight was brief.
Both birds were released at
the center of the arena. I
expected our rooster to die of
fright. Instead, a strange thing
happened. A lovesick
expression came into the red
rooster’s eyes. Then it did a
love dance.
