The hen Cookie woke up early as usual, every morning, and the sun had begun to emit its golden rays through the forest. But that morning was slightly different from usual, as the rest of the forest animals did not wake up early as usual, because they were accustomed to hearing the sound of the rooster crowing early to wake them up.
The hen imitates the rooster’s crowing: On that day, the rooster remained asleep and did not wake up early, so the hen Cookie decided to imitate the sound of the rooster’s crowing to wake the animals. She climbed a small rock and crowed with all her strength: Coco coooooo.
The rooster heard someone imitating his crowing, so he got up from his sleep angry and said: Who is imitating my crowing? Who dares to do that? The hen hurried to descend from the top of the rock and ran toward her house and hid there. The rabbit told his friend the rooster that the hen Cookie was the one who imitated his famous crowing. The rooster hurried toward the hen Cookie’s house to admonish her, but the hen Cookie was an arrogant hen.
She said with arrogance and pride: Oh lazy rooster, the animals remained sleeping and did not go out to work early because of your laziness today. I had to wake them up to go out to work. The animals will not wait for the crowing of a lazy rooster until you wake up. You do not do your work diligently, even though it is simple. The rooster felt sad from the hen Cookie’s words and left her house sad because of what the hen said about him.
The hen mocks the mouse: The hen Cookie went out to complete her tour of the farm. She met the mouse Rufur, who had asked the hen Cookie to play with him. The hen looked at the mouse with mockery and said to him: Play together? It seems you are weak-sighted, oh small mouse. Do you not see the clear difference between us?
The mouse was confused and said: The difference between us? Yes, I am a mouse with a long tail, big ears, and a small body, but this does not mean we cannot play together. The hen laughed and said: This is true, but my form is more beautiful than yours, and I lay eggs that people eat, and I am a smart hen, and you are just a mouse, so never forget this. The mouse also felt sad from the hen’s mockery of him and left the hen sad from her harsh words to him.
The hen mocks the turtle: The hen continued her walk and met the turtle, who was walking with toil and effort. The hen asked her mockingly: Where are you heading, oh fast rocket? The turtle panted and said: I am on my way to the lion to inform him that the tiger has given birth to a beautiful son for him. The hen said: But the tiger gave birth a week ago.
The turtle sighed and said: You see how much effort I put into my work, for I have been walking for a week to bring the good news to the king of the forest. The hen mocked and said: What effort is this? You are an extremely slow and lazy animal, and you carry a heavy shield on your back. You are not a beautiful, fast, and smart hen like me.
The meaning of the word arrogant: The arrogant hen left, and the turtle began to ask: What happened to the hen Cookie? She has become extremely arrogant. The canary bird was listening to the hen’s conversation with the turtle. As soon as the hen left, the turtle asked: What does the word arrogant mean? The turtle answered: Arrogant means that the hen imagines herself better than the rest of the animals, mocks them, and ridicules them.
The plan of the canary and the crow: The canary bird was annoyed by what the hen was doing to her friends, so she decided to set a smart plan to teach the hen a lesson. She planned the plan with her friend the crow. The crow moved toward the hen, and the hen was walking in pride. As soon as she spotted the crow, she jumped and shouted: Stay away from me, oh black crow. The crow said: Welcome to the most beautiful and smartest hen in the world. You are the princess of the forest. The hen answered after the title pleased her: A princess? You are right, oh crow.
The crow bowed before her and said: I am your obedient servant, oh princess. If you would honor visiting my humble branch, you will find your pictures everywhere. The hen said: Really? The crow answered with artificial enthusiasm: Certainly, for I love chickens, and I do not find anything tastier than them in the world. I mean, more beautiful in appearance than them. Come, I will carry you on my wing and fly to my branch so you can see your pictures. The hen said, blinded by arrogance: Let us go.
The crow reached the branch and entered the hen into the branch. He said to her: So you are the strongest, smartest hen with no equal. The hen answered: Yes, certainly. The crow said: Truly, but there is someone stronger than you. I am the crow, and I can swallow you and consume your delicious flesh in a few minutes.
The hen trembled and tried to escape from the crow’s branch. The canary bird came out, who had been hiding in the crow’s branch, to tell the hen that what she did was wrong behavior, and no one should boast over others, and we should not mock the abilities or capacities or forms of some people.
The hen learned an unforgettable lesson. She went out feeling regret for her bad behavior and her stinging words with her friends. She passed by them to apologize to them and ask them for forgiveness for the sadness she caused them.
