“10th story”
First Published; Oct.19.2017
A hungry fox was passing by a village when he saw a rooster. Eager to relieve his hunger, the fox tried to find a way to hunt the rooster.
The fox told the rooster: “Hello friend, I knew your father. He had a great voice. How about you? Are you a good singer too?”
The rooster replied: “Of course I am. In fact, I sing better than my father,” and closed his eyes to sing.
The fox’s plan worked well, it was the perfect opportunity for him to hunt the credulous rooster. The fox jumped and grabbed the rooster with his teeth.
The rooster regretted how easily was deceived and started to crow.
The village’s dogs heard the rooster’s crow and ran toward the fox.
The rooster told the fox: “To stop the dogs from following you, you should shout and tell them;” This rooster doesn’t belong to your village, I got it from another village.”
The fox believed that was a great idea. He opened his mouth to shout. And that made the rooster free.
The fox realized how he was tricked by the rooster and said: “Curse on the mouth that opens untimely.”
The rooster responded: “And curse to the eyes that close mistimed.”
Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.
I still had the last story in my mind that this one popped up. Which was a good one to read as usual. Loved it.
Thanks again for your beautiful comment. I am glad you liked it.❤️
That’s a wise story and full of humor. Thank you for telling.
Thanks for reading and comment 🙂
Love it 😉 x
Kind of u dear Jack😊
I like the wisdom at the end of this story. However, unless there is something I don’t know about roosters (and I used to have one) I think you could simply have the fox attack the rooster from the start. I don’t think he would need a way “to find a way to hunt the rooster.”
I also like that the rooster finds a way to trick the fox (a tricky animal).
Lol true. But they had to make a story to teach us a useful lesson. 😊
Just my thoughts on it. I like how your stories have a deeper meaning. That is so important to storytelling. Stories without meaning are like junk food.
Thanks Chris for your comments.🙂
Thank you for finding my blog… i love this story… simple but deep.

Yes, our body and its parts can be either a help-or a hindrance.

Good. I’ll send you a poem from back in July, I think you might like it. http://wp.me/p6B6QE-eZ
Wow. You are so talented. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cute story
Thanks dear.🙂
cute story. The fox was smart enough to get the rooster to close his eyes and the rooster eventually got the fox to open his mouth so he could escape. Moral of the story-don’t be gullible.
Thanks. 😊true
Animals are amazing
Yes I love them.😊
Me too. I don’t like snakes. LOL
Lol who does.😊
My neighbor used to own over a whole building of snakes before he moved here. They now have a pet snake or at least they did.
Oh God. I can’t even imagine.😉
I know really. I almost stepped on a snake. scared the snake away, I yelled so loud. LOL
😂😂😂😂 I die.
At least I screamed when I saw it. Glad I saw it.
😀😄😃😄😀
The IT guy lived next door to someone who had pet snakes although he did not know they had. And they did not look after them well, let them wander around all over the place. One morning the IT man had his central heating on so it was nice and cosy. Of course, snakes really like this and one decided it had had enough of living with the neighbours and it’s time to migrate. IT man’s wife walks across the landing and double-takes: there is a Californian king snake dancing its way up the stairs!
Wow was that yours?
hahaah NO
Lol

Great story. Makes me think in some ways of Le Corbeau et le Renard de Jean de Lafontaine.

Lol, nice comment John. Thanks.🌹
Love your story, Laleh. It’s an aspect about deceit that we often overlook: We-the-victims are complicit in deception.
You’re so awesome Rosaliene.❤️
Loved it and the lesson 🙂
