THE CLEVER COCK

A dog and a cock decided to go on a journey together. They were travelling through a forest when night fell. The dog went to sleep at the foot of the tree, the cock in the branches above.

The crow crowed at its usual hour to welcome the dawn. Its cry awoke a fox who lived nearby. He hurried to the wood, and began to praise the cock’s voice. He said, “I beg you to come down from the tree.”

The cock understood the fox’s trick and said, “I will come down if you first ask the watchman to open the door.

The fox foolishly did as he was told. The dog awoke and growled. He quickly chased the fox away. The cock and the dog continued their journey in safety.

A pet is a cuddly little thing, 
Joy and laughter it will bring.

Expect it to bark or maybe just purr.
A pet could become a very close friend, 
Treat it nice, lots of love it shall send. 
It has the potential to cheer you up, 
Right from the start, just like a pup.
Pets are wonderful, they're all unique, 
They understand you, make sure you speak. 
Don't forget to love them dearly, 
They'll love you back, lots and sincerely.
