The karma of this cardboard box was to fall, at around 6am on the morning of September 8, off of the back of a truck into the middle of a busy road, creating an obstacle to oncoming traffic. Lorries and cars consequently swerved to divert it or, in some cases, ran noisily over it. Nobody got out of their vehicle to move it. Suddenly, it was uplifted by a student bodhisattva, who had seen in the empty box the potential for a massive pileup and ensuing carnage, and realized that having done so, he had to rescue the box and its future victims. So, crossing to the middle, he picked up the box, discovering that it was filled (overflowing, even) with around a heavy 10kg of chicken thighs that had thawed and shattered under the heavy traffic. So, dear reader, here is an instance in which, for the benefit of all sentient beings in the three times and four directions, the chicken crossed the road.
