                          was a magical rooster who lived in a red barn on farmer                              farm.  Nobody knew that                           had magic powers; however,                            knew that very unusual things happened whenever                        was around.                     was the farmer’s favorite animal.  Each day                             worked hard on his farm, growing                           to sell at the market.  Every night                           took two bottles of                             down to the river to share a drink with                             .                         loved                             almost as much as he loved using his magic to play practical jokes on the farmer. On this day,                             tricks went wrong.                          woke up early, as he usually did, and crowed until he knew that                             was awake.  It had been                         that day, so after eating a quick breakfast                    and a handful   of                          ,                             put on his                                   and                           .    .

While                           ate,                           planned the day’s practical jokes.  With a quick “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” he made a                           appear in the barn.  He tuned the                                                     to a rock ’n’ roll station, turned the volume up all the way, and hid the                            under the hay.                        had just gone to work in the                           garden when he heard the loud                             in the barn.  He raced to the barn but you couldn’t see the                           .  He also didn’t see                            hiding behind a large pile of                           , laughing to himself.                             left the barn and went back to his                             garden.  Slowly he  picked the                              and put them in a large crate.                            didn’t see that                           was sneaking behind the                           .  With a quiet “Cock-a-doodle-doo,”                            turned the                            into                                 .

                            didn’t notice until he tried to lift the crate and it fell on his foot.                           was still hiding behind the                             , but he was not laughing anymore.  He felt very bad for                           as he watched him hobble down to his truck that was parked by the                            .                            watched as                              rode off down the                           into town.  Many hours passed, and                           still had not returned.                          was sad.  He missed                             , and he missed  his                             .      Late that evening,                           saw a truck drive up the                           by the                           .  He knew that it was                             .  He watched him slowly make his way out of the truck and into his house.                             lay down to rest his leg, which was now in a large plaster cast.

                          felt so bad because he knew that                           would no longer be able  to work in the                          garden to make money at the market.                          wished that he could do something to help                           .  The next morning                            awoke to the sound of                           crowing with the sunrise.  At first, he was sad, thinking about his broken foot, but when he saw his toes sticking out of his cast, he shrieked with surprise and joy.  On each toe was a gold                           .                            could sell the gold                           and never have to sell                             again.                             was so happy that he hobbled out of his room and grabbed two bottles of                              .  He slowly walked down to the                             where he met                           and they sat happily all day, sipping                                 and munching on                             .
