The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of commitment from project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:

A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
The Chicken says: "Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!"
Pig replies: "Hm, maybe, what would we call it?"
The Chicken responds: "How about 'ham-n-eggs'?"
The Pig thinks for a moment and says: "No thanks. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved."

Damn, that's a lot fucking darker than I'd thought it'd get on reading the title of the fable.

I think it'd be rarer to find a fable that wasn't dark.

Tortoise and the hare isn't particularly dark.

You obviously didn't read the version where the hare gets eaten.

Tortoise kills hare in horrifying video. More at 6.

Edit: it was a seabird
