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 .

You’d better take it to the town .

Sell it there and buy some cakes and sweets for our children .

”　　It’s 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 .

I’d better let the cock walk outside for a while ,or it’ll die .

”　　So he put the cock to the ground .

When he started again ,he couldn’t catch it any longer .

　　How foolish you are !

”Mr Smith called out angrily .

You can herald the break of day at night but you cann’t find the way to the town in the daytime !
