NAME:
As the sun was setting, in a glorious world, a wise old rooster flew to a tree to roost. Before preparing to rest, he flapped his wings three times and sang loudly. But just as he was about to tuck his head under the wing, his beady eyes caught a flash of red and a glimpse of a long, pointed nose, and just below him was Master Fox.
– Did you hear the wonderful news? - shouted the Fox in a very happy and lively way.
– What news? asked the Rooster very calmly. But he had a strange, restless feeling inside him, for, you know, he was very afraid of the Fox.
– Your family, mine and all the other animals have agreed to forget their differences, to live in peace and friendship from now on. Think about it! I just can't wait to hug him! Come down dear friend and let us celebrate this joyous event.

But the Fox didn't wait to find out more. He started to run.
- Wait - shouted the Rooster - Why do you run away? Dogs are your friends now!
- Yes - replied the Fox - But they may not have heard the news. Also, I have a very important mission that I almost forgot about.
The Rooster smiled as he buried his head in his feathers and slept, as he had managed to deceive a very cunning enemy.
