THE COCK
The cock is a lovely bird.
It crows early in the morning.
It tells men to leave their beds.
The hen lays 15 to 20 eggs at a time.
Children buy a few. Others burst into young ones.
The cock can fly for a short distance. Its body is heavy. So it cannot fly like the crow.
An egg is sweet to eat. Children are very fond of eggs.
It is also popular among elderly men.
Doctors give this as a light diet to sick men.
