The chicken story

Life can be weird somtimes. There might be events that not even Stephen Hawking or Roger Penrose could explain. On the other hand, there might be events which you think that ought to be just coincidence but you still hope that it is not.

My grandma's funeral was held for three days. Something weird did happen. Everyday in the evening, a cock would come to the funeral and jumped on to a lorry. The weird thing is not because of the cock itself nor why it jumped on to the lorry. The funny thing was how the cock would look straight into the direction where my grandma's coffin is placed. The weirder thing was despite the rain, the cock just stared to the only direction from 6pm until 4am, before moving away.

The next day, the same cock came and did the same thing again.

It might be a coincident. The cock might be sleeping the entire time while facing the light. The cock might have even been doing that every day since last May. But to the family, it is still something to ponder about. We would like to think that someone was missing grandma and coming to see her. Or someone was waiting to bring her to another place, where everything would be worried free and beautiful.
