A Foolish Chicken

winka

Christmas was1 coming. Mr Smith had2 no money to buy any presents for his children. His wife3 was ill and he spent a lot of money on her medicine4. And the harvest5 was bad and all his family were going6 go be hungry the next spring. He was quite worried7 about it.

"We had only a cock8," said9 Mrs Smith one day. "You'd better take it to the town. Sell it there and buy some cakes and sweets for our children."

"It's a good idea!" the man said and caught the cock the next morning and put it into a box. It was difficult to walk on the road covered10 with thick snow. Two hours later11 he was very tied and wanted to have a rest. He put the box to the ground12 and sat13 down.

"The air in the box must be close," the man said to himself14. "I'd better let the cock walk outside for a while15, or it'll die16."

So he put the cock to the ground. When he started again, he couldn't catch it any longer.

"How foolish17 you are!" Mr Smith called out angrily. "You can herald18 the break of day at night but you cann't find the way to the town in the daytime19!"
