The Dog, The Rooster, And The Fox
Aesop Fable: The Dog, The Rooster, And The Fox
A dog and a Rooster being great friends, agreed to travel together.
At nightfall they took shelter in a thick wood. The
Rooster flying up, perched himself on the branches of a tree,
while the Dog found a bed beneath in the hollow trunk.
When the morning dawned, the Rooster, as usual, crowed very
loudly several times. A Fox heard the sound, and wishing
to make a breakfast on him, came and stood under the
branches, saying how earnestly he desired to make the acquaintance
of the owner of so magnificent a voice.
The Rooster, suspecting his civilities, said: "Sir, I wish you would do me
the favor of going around to the hollow trunk below me,
and waking my porter, so that he may open the door and
let you in." When the Fox approached the tree, the Dog
sprang out and caught him, and tore him to pieces.
