A Foolish Chicken
Christmas was coming .Mr Smith had no money to buy any presents for his children .His wife was ill and he spent a lot of money on her medicine .And the harvest was bad and all his family were going go be hungry the next spring .He was quite worried about it .
We had only a cock ,said Mrs Smith one day .Youd better take it to the town .Sell it there and buy some cakes and sweets for our children .
Its a good idea !the man said and caught the cock the next morning and put it into a box .It was difficult to walk on the road covered with thick snow .Two hours later he was very tied and wanted to have a rest .He put the box to the ground and sat down .
The air in the box must be close ,the man said to himself .Id better let the cock walk outside for a while ,or itll die .
So he put the cock to the ground .When he started again ,he couldnt catch it any longer .
How foolish you are !Mr Smith called out angrily .You can herald the break of day at night but you cannt find the way to the town in the daytime !
