The Roosters and the Partridge

On a green farm live two quarrelsome roosters. The farmer buys a lovely partridge from the market. He leaves the partridge in the coop of the roosters.

The roosters attack the strange partridge at once. The little partridge draws back into a corner in fear. She cries sadly because she is a stranger.

After a while the two roosters begin to fight. They start to peck each other harshly. The partridge watches the fight of the roosters in surprise.

The partridge is no longer sad about her own state. "They fight even among themselves," she says. The partridge calmly begins to eat her food.

Whoever is not at peace with himself gets along with no one.
