“My mistress is planning to cook me for dinner tonight. This may perhaps be the last time
I am crowing,” said the rooster.
“Well,” said the donkey. “Why don’t you come with us to Bremen? You have a good voice
and together we can make melodious music.”
The rooster thought it was a wonderful idea. He agreed to join them.
So the donkey, the dog, the cat and the rooster left in search of fame and fortune. It was
a long way to Bremen.
When they reached there the sun had set. It was getting dark. The four friends were very
tired and hungry. They saw a light at a distance. They hurried towards the light and were
very happy to see that it was an old farm house.
“Let’s go in,” said the rooster.
“No, no! ” said the donkey. “Let’s make sure it is a safe place. Stand on my back and tell us
what you see.”
The rooster saw some men sitting around a table. They were having a grand feast.
All over the floor were gold coins, jewels and a lot of money.
“They appear to be thieves,” said the rooster. “Let’s chase them away. Then we can feast on
the food,” said the donkey.
