Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
LDS Perspectives on an Age-old Question
NEPHI
And it came to pass that the chicken did cross the road, that it might reach the other side.
KING BENJAMIN
And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when the chicken is crossing the road, it is only getting to the other side.
ALMA THE ELDER
And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here is the road (for thus it was called); and now, as ye are desirous to get to the other side, and are willing to set one another’s eggs that they may hatch; Yea and are willing to cluck with those that cluck, yea, and peck those that stand in need of pecking; Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against crossing the road?
And now when the chickens had heard these words, they flapped their wings for joy and cackled, This is the desire of our hearts.
JOSEPH SMITH

Every chicken a road-crosser.
