这篇文章大致懂，但不懂他想表达什么
A Foolish Chicken
　　Christmas was coming .Mr Smith had no money to buy any presents for his children .His wife was ill and he spent a lot of money on her medicine .And the harvest was bad and all his family were going go be hungry the next spring .He was quite worried about it .
　　“We had only a cock ,”said Mrs Smith one day .“You’d better take it to the town .Sell it there and buy some cakes and sweets for our children .”
　　“It’s a good idea !”the man said and caught the cock the next morning and put it into a box .It was difficult to walk on the road covered with thick snow .Two hours later he was very tied and wanted to have a rest .He put the box to the ground and sat down .
　　“The air in the box must be close ,”the man said to himself .“I’d better let the cock walk outside for a while ,or it’ll die .”
　　So he put the cock to the ground .When he started again ,he couldn’t catch it any longer .
　　“How foolish you are !”Mr Smith called out angrily .“You can herald the break of day at night but you cann’t find the way to the town in the daytime !”

　　这篇文章虽然名为《愚蠢的小鸡》，但真正表达的其实是”愚蠢的史密斯先生“。算是一个寓言小故事、或者说是个笑话故事吧。文章大意：
　　《愚蠢的小鸡》
　　圣诞将至，史密斯先生没钱为孩子们准备礼物。他的妻子生病花费大笔医药费，而且庄稼收成也差，一家人都要饿肚子，史密斯先生为此很是担忧。
　　一天，史密斯夫人对他说：”我们只有一只公鸡了，最好去镇上卖掉它，为孩子们买点糕点糖果“。
　　史密斯先生非常赞同，第二天早上就动手把鸡抓到箱子里出发了。路上积雪厚，很难走。两个小时过去了，他很累，决定稍作休息，就把箱子往地上一放坐了下来。
　　他暗忖：”箱子肯定密不透风，我最好让公鸡也出来待会儿，不然它会死的“。
　　所以他把公鸡放了出来，但当他再次上路时，却再也找不到公鸡了。
　　史密斯先生生气地大喊：”你（指公鸡）怎么这么愚蠢，大晚上的你都可以预报即将破晓，大白天的你却找不到去镇上的路！“
　　故事结束了、天亮打鸣是公鸡的本能，怎能要求这只整日困在鸡窝里的公鸡能认路呢？所以喽、真正愚蠢的不是小鸡，是犯了常识性错误的史密斯先生。
　　读完开怀一笑吧，希望对你有帮助，望采纳。
