And then, quite as though nothing were the matter, Kuratko strutted into the room, flapped his wings, and crowed:
"Cockadoodledo! I'm hungry! Give me something to eat!"
"Not another blessed thing will I ever feed you, you greedy chick!" Grandfather shouted.
"Cockadoodledo!" Kuratko answered. "Then I'll just eat you!"
With that he made one peck at Grandfather and swallowed him down, stool and all!
"Oh, Kuratko!" Grandmother cried. "Where's Grandpa?"
"Cockadoodledo!" Kuratko remarked. "I'm still hungry. I think I'll eat you!"
And with that he made one peck at Grandmother and swallowed her down, spinning-wheel and all!
Then that terrible chick went strutting down the road, crowing merrily!
He met a washerwoman at work over her wash-tub.
