      Once
      upon
      a
      time,
      there
      was
      a
      rooster
      known
      as
      the
      Crowing
      Rooster
     
     
      who
      lived
      on
      a
      farm.
      Crowing
      Rooster
      was
      an
      outspoken
      little
      fellow
      who
      loved
     
     
      to
      have
      fun
      but
      always
      told
      the
      truth.
      One
      day,
      Crowing
      Rooster
      criticized
      the
     
     
      farmer’s
      horse
      barn
      for
      not
      being
      very
      clean
      or
      very
      fun.
      The
      farmer
      got
      very
     
     
      angry
      and
      sang
      a
      karaoke
      version
      of
      Tom
      Petty’s
      “Don’t
      Come
      Around
      Here
      No
     
     
      More”
      right
      in
      Crowing
      Rooster’s
      face.
     
    

    
     
      Next,
      the
      nasty,
      closed-minded
      farmer
      went
      and
      put
      a
      whole
      bunch
      of.
     
    

    
     
      posters
      up
      with
      Crowing
      Rooster’s
      face
      on
      it.
      The
      posters
      said
      that
      if
      any
      ani-
     
     
      mal
      saw
      Crowing
      Rooster
      in
      the
      barn,
      then
      that
      animal
      was
      allowed
      to
      kick
     
     
      Crowing
      Rooster
      back
      into
      the
      barnyard.
      Then
      the
      big,
      mean
      farmer
      even
      began
     
     
      destroying
      some
      of
      Crowing
      Rooster’s
      belongings—belongings
      that
      the
      farmer
     
     
      even
      helped
      to
      pay
      for!
      “Silly
      farmer!”
      thought
      the
      Rooster.
     
     
      i
      Soon
      after
      being
      evicted
      from
      the
      barn,
      Crowing
      Rooster
      assembled
      all
     
     
      of
      the
      animals
      in
      the
      barnyard
      to
      make
      a
      big
      announcement:
      “Worry
      not,
      my
     
     
      friends.
      Athough
      I
      have
      been
      rejected
      from
      the
      barn,
      I
      am
      not
      affected,
      for
      I
     
     
      have
      spent
      little
      time
      there.
      I
      will
      simply
      find
      my
      way
      to
      a
      more
      appropriate
      res-
     
     
      idence
      for
      amusement
      and
      shelter.
      I
      will
      aid
      the
      economic
      situation
      down
      yon-
     
     
      der!”
      said
      Crowing
      Rooster
      pointing
      to
      the
      farm
      on
      the
      hill
      in
      the
      distance.
     
    

    
     
      Later
      on
      that
      year,
      the
      mean
      farmer’s
      horse
      barn
      just
      fell
      down—lucki-
     
     
      ly,
      with
      none
      of
      the
      animals
      inside.
      All
      of
      the
      animals
      mooed
      and
      clucked
      and
     
     
      made
      happy
      horsie
      sounds
      with
      thoughts
      of
      safety
      and
      joy.
      No
      more
      loose
     
     
      beams
      falling
      on
      the
      heads
      of
      the
      poor
      animals
      anymore.
      A
      new
      barn
      was
      built,
     
     
      and_all
      the
      animals
      rejoiced!
