ONCE upon time, there was a Cock. He tried to swallow it, and choked himself. He choked himself and stretched himself out, and there he lay, and couldn’t even breathe.
* THE COCK AND THE BEAN.
* THE GOAT AND THE RAM.
* THE HUNGRY WOLF.
* THE PEASANT AND THE BEAR.
* THE DOG AND THE COCK.
* KING FROST.
* THE BEAR’S PAW.
* THE BEAR AND THE OLD MAN’S DAUGHTERS.
* THE STRAW OX.
* THE FOX AND THE BLACKBIRD.
And his mistress saw him, ran up to him, and asked: “Mr. Cock, what makes you lie there like that, so that you can’t breathe?”
