Six people died in Southern Egypt in 1997 whilst attempting to rescue a chicken that had fallen into a 60ft well. An 18 year old farmer was first to go in after the chicken, but drowned in the strong undercurrents. His sister and two brothers, neither of whom could swim, went in one after the other to help him but also drowned. Finally two elderly farmers went to help out but met with a similar fate. After the six bodies were pulled from the well - the chicken flew out unharmed. The owner, overjoyed at seeing his chicken alive, promptly wrang it's neck and cooked it for dinner.
