NAME:

Galante's great claw

The Galante rooster is walking all pompous in his yard. His small glowing eyes are focused on the ground, looking for worms and insects.
He walks over a pile of leaves.
“This is always a good place to find succulent worms,” he says. His stomach is growling.
– I'll scratch around here and see what I can find.
Soon he has so shuffled through the pile of leaves that he can't even see his feet. He cocks his head to one side, staring at the ground and watching for any movement.

– I found a worm! Got you! - He yells, pecking where something had moved.
– Oooo! - He screams. Galante had pecked his own claw, submerged in all those leaves! And it hurt, it hurt a lot.
He bounced around on his healthy foot for a few moments and then, carefully, tried to put his injured foot on the ground. But it hurt too much.
“Cocoró needs to see this,” he mutters. The Galante rooster hobbles and jumps along the way to Dr. Cocoro. She is saying goodbye to Mr. Horse when Galante arrives.
– What's wrong, my dear? – She asks her husband.
“I thought my claw was a worm,” Galante confesses, with a funny expression.
– Oh, Galante, you didn't do that! - laughs Dr. Cocoro. - Let's take a look.
Cocoró sees that it's nothing serious. She gives him a small peck on the cheek and bandages it.
– This guy… – she laughs.
