Kyle Kispert. Chapter 13. Question 3

While examining how the development aid process is broken, Wheelan tells the joke about the chickens and the priest. This story related to an economy and attempts to help it. As the chickens die in the story regardless of the priests suggestions, this hints at an unstable future. Though many steps can be taken to help something, we must be knowledgable about the subject to make a positive difference. From this passage, I conclude that the future can be threatening and dark if we are uneducated. However, if the the peasant would have asked a veterinarian, the chickens might have been saved.
