"The bullying turkey" "On a farm where life seemed to pass quietly, once upon a time there was a turkey that, exploiting his imposing voice, tyrannized roosters, hens, ducks, geese." "All of them, even the cows, were scared of him." "He commanded the community ruthlessly." "He ruled its life." "It's late, the sun's setting, and he orders everyone to retire." ""Go home, go home!" Yells the turkey." ""And you, sound the retreat," he orders the rooster. "I say do it!"" ""Go home, go home, quickly, quickly."" "The hen tries to object:" ""No!"" ""What'd you mean, No?" the turkey scolds harshly." "The geese prudently retreat and the shamed hen climbs with her companions into the chicken coop." ""Go to bed, go to bed!" And even the horse goes to sleep." "To one slow hen the turkey gives a severe lesson." "Then everyone retires intimidated." "The turkey rejoices with satisfaction at proving, for the nth time, his power over others." "And now his little court also retires." "Even the cats." "And now, seeing all have gone to bed, he too goes to his nest - in a place set apart." "But through the cracks in the hut two young roosters, the smartest and boldest, spy on the turkey:" "Something about him isn't convincing." "So the two bold roosters can see the turkey, finally alone, deflate, thus losing his impressiveness." "It's hard to stay always puffed up like a turkey." "Next day at dawn everyone runs joyously in the sun to nibble and eat." "Some geese wallow happily in the water." "But the turkey immediately sees something's changed." "Even the geese don't listen, almost rebellious." "He gets nervous, upset." "The rooster announces sunrise without waiting for the order." "Unheard of!" "The other rooster keeps his eye on him, following out of sight." "As soon as he sees the felon mistreat a hen, he jumps on him, attacking." "The battle grows violent." "The mother hen retreats prudently with her chicks, while the others close in curious to watch the fight." "Now the other rooster joins in." "The little turkeys gaze stupified." "The geese rejoice." "Now the turkey gives up." "He's had the worst of it." "He's lost his pretty feathers that gave him such importance." "Geese, roosters and hens celebrate the defeat of the oppressor." "And now, as is natural, the roosters direct the life of the chickenyard." "And the bullying turkey has become their most humble servant."
