Fable
The Fighting Cocks & The Eagle
Once there were two Cocks living in the same
farmyard who could not bear the sight of each other. At last, one day they flew
up to fight it out, beak and claw. They fought until one of them was beaten and
crawled off to a corner to hide.
The
Cock that had won the battle flew to the top of the hen-house, and, proudly
flapping his wings, crowed with all his might to tell the world about his
victory. But an Eagle, circling overhead, heard the boasting chanticleer and,
swooping down, carried him off to his nest.
His
rival saw the deed, and coming out of his corner, took his place as master of
the farmyard.
