The night passed and dawn broke, and the golden red rooster crowed to announce the beginning of a new day. There in his burrow, the cunning fox awoke early to the rooster’s crowing and shook the traces of sleep from his eyes.
The cunning fox wakes early: Then he looked into the distance and said: Oh, oh, oh… how beautiful it is to wake up early to the rooster’s crowing, but even more beautiful is when the rooster is on my table for my breakfast! Oh, oh, oh, the rooster’s voice is wonderful, and even more wonderful is to tear his flesh between my fangs.
The cunning fox’s trick: Then the fox began thinking of a trick to get to the rooster, for the rooster is vigilant and alert, and he cannot be caught easily. The fox said to himself: The trick must be cunning and intelligent. After long thinking, an idea came to the fox to get to the rooster. He stood up and set off quickly to execute his plan, heading to the rooster’s place.
The fox and the rooster: In front of the wooden fence, the fox found the rooster standing on a high plank of the fence. He approached him and said: Good morning, my friend. Rejoice, oh rooster companion. Haven’t you heard? News has spread that reached all the forest animals and was carried by its birds—that war and enmity between foxes and birds have ended.
The cunning fox’s cunning plan: And on the occasion of declaring peace, a great celebration will be held this morning, attended by the forest animals, by order of the ruler who commanded stopping this war so that everyone lives in harmony. The rooster was amazed at the fox’s words, so the fox said to him: Come, come, come, come, come, come, my dear, descend quickly from your place there and come to me so we can embrace with love, then set off together to the celebration, hand in hand. At the celebration, everyone will be happy when they see us as close friends.
The smart rooster’s reaction plan: The cunning trick did not deceive the rooster, and he sensed that the fox was plotting evil. He said to himself: You cunning deceiver, did you think you tricked me and I believed you? No, no, no, you cunning trickster, I will teach you a lesson you won’t forget!
Then the rooster said to the fox: Of course, of course, of course, I will come down to you. Look, it seems someone is coming toward us. Yes, I see a group of hunting dogs that have come to congratulate us together, so you can go with us to the celebration!
The fox’s escape: The fox was disturbed when he heard the name of hunting dogs, and his voice trembled. He said to himself: No, no, no, no, no, no—hunting dogs, woe to me from their fangs and barking. I must escape quickly to flee before they reach me. Awoooo.
The cunning fox’s lie: The fox set off fleeing, while the rooster began calling out to him: Ha, ha, ha, stop! Where are you going, my friend the fox? Won’t you attend the celebration with me? Why are you running and escaping? The fox answered him while speeding his run: Awoooo for a second time, my dear, my stomach hurts, and the doctor advised me to stay in bed. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. The rooster laughed as he watched the fox escaping and running at top speed to the forest.
