Rooster and Dog decided to travel the world together. At night, Rooster flew up in a tree, while Dog slept down below. Each dawn, Rooster crowed, just like back on the farm.
Fox heard Rooster crowing. "I've found my breakfast!" he thought, running towards the sound.
"Hello, Rooster!" Fox shouted. "I see you're a stranger here. Let's get acquainted! I'll be your new friend."
"Gladly!" said Rooster. "Go tell the doorkeeper below to let you in."
Fox eagerly ran to the tree, where Dog was waiting. He tore Fox to pieces, and then shouted to Rooster, "Thanks for the breakfast!"
Inspired by: Mille Fabulae et Una, a collection of Latin fables that I've edited, free to read online. I am not translating the Latin here; instead, I am just telling a 100-word version of the fable. Notes: This is fable 560 in the book, which is Perry 252.
