Aesop | Greece
The Fighting Roosters and The Eagle
Two Roosters fought, one was defeated and humiliated, while the other boasted but was taken by an Eagle, allowing the defeated Rooster to claim victory.
On a busy farm, two roosters lived. They didn’t like each other and were always angry when they met. Every day, their dislike for each other grew.
One warm morning, they couldn’t take it anymore. They started fighting, pecking with their beaks and scratching with their claws. Feathers flew everywhere as they fought. The fight went on until one rooster finally lost. Hurt and tired, he ran away to hide.
The winning rooster, feeling proud, jumped to the top of the hen house. He flapped his wings and crowed loudly to show everyone that he had won.
In the sky, an eagle was flying. The rooster’s loud crow caught the eagle’s attention. The eagle quickly flew down and grabbed the proud rooster, carrying him away.
The defeated rooster, who had been watching, came out of his hiding place. Now that the other rooster was gone, he walked around the farm and became the new leader of the farm.
