Why do hawks hunt chicks?

Once upon a time, a hawk fell in love with a hen.The hawk flew down
From the sky and asked the hen,”Will you marry me?”
The hen loved the brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him.
But she said,” I cannot fly as high as you can. If you give me time, I may
learn to fly as high as you. Then we can fly together.”
The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring.
“This is to show that you have promised to marry me”, said the hawk.
It so happened that the hen had already promised to marry
A rooster. So, when the rooster saw the ring, he became very angry.
“Throw that ring away at once!” shouted the rooster. The hen was so
Frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring immediately.
When the hawk came a few months later the hen told him the truth.
The hawk whild was so furious that he cursed the hen,”Why you don’t
Tell me earlier? Now, you’ll always be stratching the earth, and I’ll always
Be flaying above to catch your children,” said the hawk.
