Question

 

Long long ago, the animals found that men had a beautiful thing. It was a bright, burning thing. People cooked their food and kept themselves warm with it. The animals thought life would be better if they could also have this thing. So they had a meeting to talk about how to get that burning thing. The meeting lasted for a few days and in the end the animals decided to send one of them to the people to ask for a little piece of it. At first Mouse was chosen to do it, but many animals didn’t agree, because he stole things and people hated him. Then some animals thought that Panda could do it. But neither the other animals nor he himself agreed. “I’m too heavy. I can’t walk fast.” Panda said. At last many animals thought Rooster was a good one to be sent because he was good at talking and he looked beautiful. All the animals thought men would like him.

    Rooster agreed to go. All the animals were glad and they had a farewell party to send him off. “I’ll try my best to bring the burning thing back to the mountains. I’m sure I can do it,” he said. He flew far and walked a long way until he came to a town of men. He went into the town and saw the burning thing. He learned that it was called “fire”. People in the town taught him how to use fire. But Rooster wasn’t good at learning and he was afraid of fire. He did not ask for a piece of it to take back to the animals, because he found that there was so much food lying around people’s houses, and he enjoyed the food and forgot what he had come for.

     Men liked Rooster because he sang beautifully and he woke them up in the early morning. They let him in and out of their houses. They threw him food. So Rooster stayed with men. He felt very happy in the town and he never went back to the animals in the mountains. Years later he even forgot how fly.
