Once upon a time in animal land, there was a cock, a very big cock. It was also very strong. This cocks was also always fighting the small cocks and hens in the land because he was the strongest.
The other cock in the land were afraid of the big cock, when he crowed the other cocks ran away, whenever he was going by the other cocks and hen will hide away so that the big cock will not see them. They were afraid of the big cock because it would peck and fight them.
One sunny day, the cock went to a well. The well was very deep. It was full of water. the big cock stood on the edge of the well. From there, he looked into the water in the water. His shadow looked like another big cock to him.
The big cock was very surprised that there was another cock living in the water did not run away from him. He crowed. The other also crowed. He raised his leg too and did all the other things that the big cock did.
This annoyed the big cock. He decided to fight the cock inside the water. He said to himself, “all the cocks in the land are afraid of me. I am strong. I can beat all of them. When I crow, they hide. When I walk past, they run and hide. But this cock in the water does not fear me. He is rude.”
So the big cock jumped into the well ready to fight the cock in the water. But there was no other cock in the water. It was his own shadow. He tried to get out. But he couldn’t. then he drowned. Because of pride and arrogance.
