He was walking around one morning while it was still dark when suddenly he felt a funny feeling in his throat. He wanted to open his mouth. So he did, and out of his mouth this is what came:
“Cock-a-doodle-doo,
Cock-a-doodle-doo.”
He thought it sounded perfectly wonderful; so he opened his mouth again and out came the same sound:
“Cock-a-doodle-doo,
Cock-a-doodle-doo.”
Now when his sister hens heard this wonderful rooster-noise they all came running out of the chicken house. This made the rooster more pleased than ever. So he threw his head way back and he opened his beak wide and he crowed:
“Cock-a-doodle-doo,
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
I’m twice as smart as you,
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
See what I can do.”
When his sister hens heard him say this each one began to cluck and say:
“Cut-cut-cut, cadaakut,
I’m going to lay an egg, an egg.”
“Cock-a-doodle-doo,
I don’t believe it’s true.
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
I don’t believe it’s true.”
