The Cock And The Fox
By Singapore Man of Leisure  •  March 8, 2012
One bright morning as the sun was rising from the horizon, the Cock flew on top of the barn house. He flapped his wings three times and crowed loudly.  “Wake up, wake up! First to use the toilet no need to queue!” But just as he was about to let out another one of his morning wise cracks, his Cock eyes (yes, pun intended) caught a flash of red and a glimpse of a long pointed nose, and there just below him stood the Fox smiling. "Have you heard the wonderful news?" cried the Fox in a very joyful and excited manner. "What news?" the Cock asked suspiciously. "All animals of the forest have agreed to forget their differences and live in peace and friendship from now on forever. Just think of it! I simply cannot wait to hug you! Do come down, dear friend, and let us celebrate this joyful event." "How wonderful!" said the Cock. "This is indeed good news." But he spoke in an absent-minded way, and stretching up on tiptoes, seemed to be looking at something afar off. "What is it you see?" asked the Fox a little anxiously. "It looks to me two Dogs are coming this way. They must have heard the good news and wanted to celebrate with you and me too!” But the Fox did not wait to hear more. Off he started to run. "Wait," cried the Cock. "Why do you run? The Dogs are friends of yours now!" "Yes," answered the Fox. "But they might not have heard the news. Besides, I have a very important errand that I had almost forgotten about." The Cock smiled and said to himself, “You smart; I not stupid.”

    Very Entertaining. Some people tend to think that others are not just as smart. The real truth is that everyone is gifted with at least 1 talent. If one says no, it will mean that the talent has not been discovered yet.

    Keep Writing. Thanks for your article. Cheers!!
