Once upon a time there lived a chicken called Pox. her body was dotted with red spots and she looked quite pretty in them. Her parents were surprised when she was born as none in her family had a dotted body. The mother thought, "Wow!! our Pox is so beautiful! She must go for the Most Adorable Chicken Prize!" Her father exclaimed, "She broke our family tradition!" Her brothers and sisters kept staring at her, now and then said, "Weirdo!"
Then one day a group of farmers saw it and thought tht the chicken must be suffering from some disease and parted it from other chickens. Pox was really very sad. She cried tht it wasnt her fault! it wasnt really...but human beings doesnt ever accept anything new as good.

A few decades later, people suffered from low grade fever with mid headache and weakness. it was very infectious as many people got the symptoms simulyaneously...Suddenly they discovered tht their whole bodies are covered with red itchy lumps! How horrible they looked! An old man who was one among the group of farmers who saw Pox, announced tht he saw a chicken once with red spots all over her body and her name was Pox. this must be the same disease. SO from then onwards the disease came to be known as CHICKEN POX!
