whats the irony in paps wisdom to huck "take a chicken when you get the chance because if yoi dont wanrt him yourself you can easy find somebody that wants him and a good deed and ever forgot

Pap always said to take a chicken when you had the chance because you can always give it away if you don't want to eat it. Then that person will owe you a favor. I never knew pap to actually turn down a chicken, but that's what he used to say.
