Suddenly, Mister woke up. His ears on high alert. He was sure he heard the noise of chickens approaching. Without delay, he raised his head, looked around and saw them.
All the chickens were marching toward him. All of them at once !
In but an instant, Mister jumped up and began barking with all his might. "Bark, bark ! Bark, bark! Stay away chickens, stay away ! Bark, bark ! Bark, bark ! Don't you dare peck at me this day !"
Rooster Ernst and his lady responded with equal strength. "Bawk, bawk ! Bawk, bawk ! Let's hide, rush ! Bawk, bawk ! Bawk, Bawk ! Let's run to the brush !" And every single one of them rushed toward the brush.
