Dudley the Cockerel

"Every morning, Dudley the rooster was the first to greet the sun. In response, the sun gave him a wide smile - Dudley was his favorite cock-a-doodle-doo. However, in the barnyard, the rooster was also a favorite. The animals sincerely believed that it was Dudley who made the sun rise in the morning. Dudley himself did not think so and, to correct this misunderstanding, decided to tell his comrades that he was the most ordinary rooster and that his crowing did not wake the sun - it rose on its own. But the evil, envious goose Gunther overheard his thoughts and declared Dudley a fraud. The inhabitants of the barnyard did not believe fat Gunther. And they were right. One day, Dudley could not crow the dawn, and the sun did not rise.
