The Best Singer |
16 Pages
978-964-300-437-8 | | | | Illustrator: | Goldouzian, Alireza | | Publisher: | Shokoofeh Books,Amirkabir, Iran | | Writer: | Behroz Kia, Kamal | | Abstract: | Once upon a time, there was an old cat who lived near a village. The cat could not hunt anymore. His claws were not sharp anymore and he had only two or three teeth left. Not only could not he hunt mice and partridges, he was so weak that he could hardly hunt chicks.
The old cat lived alone and had no one. Most often he fed on cockroaches, lizards and bugs. He really longed to have a real meal after all this time.
At daytime he sat close to the village and watched the roosters and chickens from a far distance. Sometimes the chickens and roosters fed on seeds and grains. And sometimes the chickens sat in the shadow while the roosters sang.
There was a rooster called 'Cock-a-doodle-do'. It had the most beautiful voice. Each day he practiced singing and wanted to sing better than before. He wanted to be admired by others. Even the people of the village recognized his songs. Once he sang, the breeze blew; as if the leaves and flowers and the children of the village could study better in the classroom.
The old cat wanted to become friends with Cock-a-doodle-do. On the other hand Cock-a-doodle-do was looking for a friend who would help him make some progress in singing.

My left wing was strained this morning and for a while I have to do all my works with my other wing! I can't move a bit because my body hurts a lot and I have many wounds. My head is aching terribly and I feel it is so heavy that it might just roll on my neck and then right onto the ground!
This morning I made a lot of effort to get myself out of Mama Chick's wings. I was rubbing my puffed eye when I saw the sparrow's little ones. They were sitting in a row on a tree branch.
Mama Sparrow had opened her wings and as she was slowly flapping them up and down, she was telling her little ones :… Up, down,… Up, down .., then keep your feet together and just fly.
I was wide-eyed in surprise. The five little sparrows had not gone any further than the top of the tree trunk until yesterday. But now one by one they jumped in the sky flapping their wings up and down.
I was very excited. I was so excited that I forgot to wash my face! I hurriedly climbed up the large steps of the rooftop. It took a long time to reach the edge of the roof. When I looked down, I felt my head is dizzy and I panicked. But then I remembered the sparrows that had just jumped and so I kept my head up. I straightened up and shouted: Mama Chicken! Come and see what I have learned!
I saw our house; it was beautiful from up there. But as I said in the beginning; I am an unlucky chick! Because just when I begun flying I lost my balance and I twirled and swirled and circled so much that at the end I fell down on my left wing and fainted, then...
