Once there was a man who had a little rooster. The little rooster liked to get up early in the morning. The man did not like to get up so early. He wanted to sleep. But each morning the little rooster began to crow very early. “Cock-a-doodle-do” he called. Then the man could not sleep and had to get up.

One morning the little rooster began to crow very,very early. The noise woke the man up. That little rooster will not let me sleep, I will plant my garden.One night the man caught the rooster. He put him into the barn. “Now”, said the man “I will stay in bed in the morning”. Early the next morning, the rooster flew out of the barn. He ran to the house and began to crow again. The man heard the little rooster and woke up. He was very angry. Oh dear, there is that little rooster again. I’ll find another place to put him this evening. I can not sleep now, and so I weed my garden.

That night the man caught the little rooster again. He took him to the barn and put him under the big basket. Then he went to bed. But very early the next morning the little rooster got out again. The man woke up, he caught the little rooster again and gave him away. That night the man had a long sleep, and the next night, and the next. He did not weed his garden. All summer the weeds grew and grew. Then the man had nothing to eat.

Once there was a man who had a rooster, everyday the little rooster is early called “Cock-a-doodle-do!”, but he wanted to sleep. So the little rooster everyday called, he not sleep and had to get up. One day he is gave him away. The night the man had a long sleep. He did not weed his garden. Then the man had nothing to eat.
