Either intentions exist, in which case they are inferred from actions.
Or they don't, and we're just imagining them.
So the question of "why did the chicken cross the road?" really is "because it wanted to". Or more comprehensively, "because it wanted to, and preferred all the (expected?) consequences of doing so".
We can highlight one of the consequences to form a narrative, but the truth is more boring than that.
