THE THIEVE AND THE COOKEREL
Two thieves were prowling around the
streets late one night, looking for a house to break into. They were
tired and hungry. They weren’t very good at their jobs; they usually
made far too much noise, so that they would wake up either the house
owner, one of the servants or worse still, a guard dog.
They came to a house that looked dark
and empty. “Let’s try this one”, they said. They crept around the
corner, and they were in luck. One of the windows in the back was open,
and they climbed inside. They went around the house carefully, in the
dark, but they could not find anything. Then one of them stumbled over
something, he bent over and found a cockerel sleeping there. He picked
up the bird and quickly put it in his bag. They made their way out of
the house and rushed back to their den. “At least we’ll be able to fill
our stomachs tonight”, they said.
One of the thieves started a fire, while
the other got the cockerel out of the bag. The bird had woken up in the
meantime, and seeing the fire, immediately guessed what was happening.
“Please gentlemen”, said the cockerel, “please don’t kill me. I can be
very useful. I crow every morning to wake up the honest folk so they can
get to their work bright and early!”
“Exactly!” said the thief who was
stoking up the fire. “The likes of you make it impossible for us poor
thieves to go about our business and make a living. Into the pot, you
go!”
