The Cock and the Fox

There were villagers who had a cock. They wanted it to wake them up at dawn.  The cock was kept at the far end of the village. Not far away, there was a fox that was waiting for a chance to catch the cock. 

One day, when there was no one around; the fox went to the cock. The fox said, “Handsome cock, do you know that your father and I are friends?” “I remember that your father’s crowing was beautiful; so, your crowing must be great too. Can you crow for me?” the fox asked. 

Proudly, the cock agreed to crow for the fox. When the cock began to crow, the fox jumped up, held the cock in its mouth, and ran away. The cock was frightened and crowed louder for help. The villagers heard the voice. “Look, a fox is stealing our cock,” they yelled, took sticks and followed them

The cock saw the villagers coming to help, it said to the fox, “Do you hear what they said? They won’t let you take me” “Tell them that I am yours and they will stop following you,” the cock played tricks to the fox

Without thinking, the fox opened its mouth to shout At the moment, the cock flew away to the top of a tree. “What a fool you are. I’ll never be yours.” By then, the villagers caught up with the fox. They beat up the fox and brought the cock back. “Because of my silliness, I got hurt and lost my food,” the fox said sadly.
