The Roosters Doodle
Rooster sat happily in comfort in his nest. Yesterday he had spent the night with the other animal companions. He had worn himself out preparing for the race God had planned. Rooster was an over achiever, and he had an extreme desire to win this competition. So poor Rooster had tuckered himself out, and was now so tired.
There was a soft purr that made rooster's eyes flutter open. There crouched down in front of him was cat. Rooster lifted his head to see the sun had not yet come up yet, but yet there cat was big angry eyes.
"Cat?" asked rooster.
"You have some nerve!" hissed cat.
Rooster was confused why cat was so angry with him. What had he done? Then rooster remembered that God had mentioned cat was foolish, was cat just being foolish again?
"What do you want foolish cat?" asked Rooster cockily.
Cat pounced at rooster his claw outstretched. Rooster flopped from his nest dodging cat. Rooster dashed away from cat fearing his life and thinking of those two long nailed claws. Cat chased the rooster with vengeance. The rooster had tricked him before, no more.
Finally, Rooster flapped his wings and flew up to the roof. The sun had still not came up, and it was still a foggy morning. That did not stop the cat as he climbed up the tree and jumped onto the roof of the farmer's house.
Rooster eyes widened and he flapped his wings in hysteria.
"I promise you this rooster, I will hunt every bird from the sky and if I catch them I'll kill them for what you said!" promised the cat slowly sauntering to the rooster.
"Better say your prayers rooster!" taunted cat.
The sun broke over the hill top as Rooster craned his head and screamed,
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"
The scream stung cat's ears and he winced as his fur bristled.
"God wake up!" screamed rooster.
Cat hissed and clawed at the roosters head leaving a scratch on rooster's head. Rooster flapped backward and screamed, "Wake up God!"
Just as Cat was about to pounce again, God appeared at the by the house, and looked up at the two with curious eyes. "Why, what is going on?" asked God cautiously.
"Cat is trying to kill me!" cooed Rooster flapping his wings.
"Rooster what is that scratch on your head for, and what was the beautiful noise?" asked God.
"Cat scratched me!" snapped rooster kicking his legs at cat.
Cat's fur stood on end as he fell from the roof he was about to fall hard on his head when God waved his hand. Amazingly cat landed on his feet.
"You may need my blessing cat, you have fallen quite a lot!" mussed God.
"Thank you, God!" nodded cat.
"Now who made such a beautiful noise?" asked god examining the two.
"It was I God! I wanted you to wake, and help save me!" boasted Rooster.
"Rooster, you have a wonderful voice! Might you wake me every day with that voice?" asked God happily.
"Surely God, I will wake you when the sun comes, everyday from now on!" agreed the Rooster.
God smiled as Rooster landed down next to him, straightening up and cockily puffing up.
"Why I shall place a red crown on your head for such a kind act!" decided God placing a red crown on the roosters scratch.
"God, I don't think rooster makes such a nice noise!" stated Cat.
"Yes, well I guess that is why you must hunt them." smiled God walking away from the two with a knowing chuckle.
And from that day, cat chased after birds, and if he caught them he killed them, just as he promised. The rooster's voice was all he heard every time he saw a bird. "What do you want foolish cat?"
