When the rooster crowed.

On the minibus I heard a rooster crow. I thought "there's no chickens on this bus." It was the driver's cell phone ringing. It brought back a memory.
Some years ago I was riding a local bus in rural Thailand. There was no a/c so all the windows were open. As we went through a village I heard a rooster crow so close I thought we must have almost run over him. About a block later I heard him crow again. I looked behind me and there was a rooster on the floor one leg tied to a seat. Then I knew I was on the chicken bus.
