THE COCK CROWS AT MIDNIGHT
When Kao Yupao was a child, he worked for a landlord. This landlord was especially sly and greedy. He made the farmhands work very hard,and gave them little to eat.Naturlly,they hated him.
Now this landlord had a cock. The cock had a strangl habit.It did not crow at dawn,but at midnight.Every time it began to crow, the landlord would shout:''get up, you lazy-boues! get up and go to work." So the farmhands had a deep hatred for both the landlord and his cock.
One,at midnight,Kao Yopao saw the landlord steal into the courtuard.There the man began to crow,just like a cock. So that was his trick!
When Kao Yupao told the other farmhands what he had seen,they ware very angry and decided to teach the landlord a lesson!
So the next night, as soon as the landlord stole into the courtyard, Kao Yupao cried out,"Stop thief! Stop thief!"
Immediately all the farmhands ran out.They knocked the "thief"and gave him a good beating.After that, the cock no longer at midnight.
