Once upon a time, a farmer decided it was time to add some new blood to his flock of hens. So, he went to the market and purchased a young, vigorous rooster. As soon as he brought the rooster home, he introduced him to the henhouse, expecting him to settle in quickly and get to work.
But to the farmer’s surprise, the young rooster immediately began showing off his virility. With boundless energy, he started chasing after every hen in sight, trying to assert his dominance over the flock.
The older rooster, who had been ruling the roost for years, wasn’t about to let this upstart newcomer steal his thunder. He squared up to the young rooster, ready to defend his territory and his harem of hens.
A fierce battle ensued, feathers flying and crowing echoing across the farmyard. In the end, the older rooster emerged victorious, driving the young upstart away with his superior experience and cunning.
As the dust settled, the farmer couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight before him. He realized that sometimes, it takes more than youth and vigor to be a true leader. And so, the older rooster continued to reign supreme over the henhouse, while the young rooster learned a valuable lesson about respect and humility.
