and the Sheep named Molly four-bedroom was very city as was her kitchen and what she ate men a small meal she was never sick from overeating her table was usually set with only black and white milk and dark bread of which there was no shortage there was broiled bacon and an egg or two or she was as it were kind of a dairy woman she had a yard stick in which she raised a rooster named empty clear it was not his equal in the land his voice was merrier than merry organ that plays in church is crawling from his resting place was more trustworthy than the comb on his head was rather than find coral and turn it like a castle wall is Bill with black and show like jet his legs and Toes were Azure his nails or wider than the Lily and his feathers were like burnished gold just like him with the prettiest throat was called Fair Denzel Portland she was polite discrete and compressional she had conducted herself so well since the time that she was about seven day Chanticlear it was great joy to hear them sing and sweet harmony when the bright Sun begin to rise for in those days so I'm told could talk just like us I'm so what happened one day at dawn is chanticleer set amidst surrounded by his hands that are grown in throat like a man's troubles with his dream when partlett heard him moaning this way she was frightened and said oh dear heart what am I he answered saying all I dream just now that I was in much danger I dream that I was roaming up and down within our yard when I saw a beast like a phone between yellow and black with two eyes that glow she said no I know that you're

with seven wives Poseidon the bright Sun listen how happy the birds sing and I will fresh the flowers grow my heart is full of joy but suddenly events overtook Xbox tips with black and full of Sly Wicked and lived in the Grove 3 years do the hedges into the yard where fair chanticleer and his wives were in the habit of going at this talk quietly in the bed until almost noon was that day part live with all her sisters nearby play Merrily bathing in the sand with her back to the Sun and Lord chanticleer saying flee to the mermaids in the sea that was it happened he casts his eye upon a butterfly among the herbs chanticleer became aware of the fox laying low he had no desire to grow then but it once he tried Easter where are you going are you afraid of me for truly you have such a merry voice and your phone also have your beautiful voice except for you I have never heard anyone sing like your father in order to make his voice tippy toes and stretch forth with his long slender neck or now sings her old sing for me like you father used to let's see what you can sing as well as your father chanticleer began to be stretched out his loudly at once the fox jumped up and grabbed my throat and carried him towards the woods Alaska his wife has green and all this trouble all the hens in the yard with the clear captured the poor Widow and her two daughters of the woeful cries of the hens and Outdoors they saw the fox going towards the the cows the sheep and even the pigs so frightened by the shoving ran after them to they had rain so hard they thought their hearts would burst

eat him in face and not be long about it the fox thought this was a good idea in faceit Show what is soon as the fox open his mouth to say the words the rooster nimbly broke away from his mouth when the fox so the rooster was gone he said I'll tell you what I meant no no the chanticleer never again will you trick me with your flattery and getting me to sing with my eyes closed she who closes his eyes when he should watch will never prosper no said the fox but Misfortune to him who is careless about his self control ask to talk when they should hold his peace the fox long into the girl that is the result in trusting in flattery and then she marched with her flock back to the yard in a little Valley they lived happily ever
