Last week, Amiao brought back a chicken, which we weren't ready to eat immediately, so we kept it on the balcony. Unfortunately, it started crowing very early every morning, causing complaints from our neighbors. As a result, Ali arrived with a knife in hand, which scared Amiao. “I suggest, Amiao, that we slaughter this chicken and eat it since the noise is bothering everyone. I'll go ahead unless you have any objections.”
