NAME:

rocco the cock

Rocco is in a bad mood. The farmers, your neighbors, bought a rooster that crows too soon!
– Do something, Rocco! – say the chickens, still sleepy – You're the head of the chicken coop, aren't you?
Rocco lifts his crest proudly and goes to the neighbor.
– I'll propose you a deal! – he says in a firm voice to the early riser rooster – either we sing every other day, taking turns, or we sing punctually together, at the same time. Choice!

The rooster reflects and then says:
– One day I sing, the next you sing, so we can sleep late every other day! And I promise I'll sing right away!
But the two fellow roosters start to think it's really cool to sleep in the morning and don't crow anymore at all! Lucky there are alarm clocks...
