The Donkey, The Rooster, and The Lion

In a bright and colorful meadow, an donkey and a rooster were best buddies, just munching away on super yummy grdonkey and grains. They were like two pals at a candy store, but, you know, the nature version!

Out of nowhere—BAM! A lion jumped out like he was the bad guy in a superhero movie. He looked pretty serious, like he meant business. Yikes!

The rooster knew what to do. He let out a loud crow, as loud as if he were singing his favorite song at a concert. Fun fact: lions don't like the sound of roosters crowing. It's like listening to someone scratching a chalkboard. So, the lion made like a banana and split!

Watching all this, the donkey thought, "Hey, I must be the brave one here. That lion ran away because of me!" Puffing out his chest like a puffed-up marshmallow, the donkey said, "Sit tight, my feathered friend. Watch how it's really done!"

The donkey ran off after the lion, going so fast he could have won a race. The rooster just shook his head. "Oh boy," he said, "some friends never learn."

The donkey caught up with the lion where it was nice and quiet, no crowing to be heard. That's when the lion turned around. Uh-oh. The donkey suddenly realized he'd made a big mistake. And before he could say, "Whoops," the lion jumped, and let's just say the donkey wasn't coming back for more meadow picnics.

The rooster strutted back to the meadow, shaking his head and chuckling a little. "Well, my friend thought he was the big hero, didn't he? Sometimes, it's not about being the star; it's about knowing your role and rocking it."

And from that day on, the meadow was filled with animals who knew that sometimes, being a great sidekick is just as awesome as being the main event. After all, not everyone has to be the brave hero to make a difference.

Once on a field so wide and vast,
An donkey and rooster enjoyed repast.
They munched on treats, both grain and grdonkey,
Under the sun's warm, golden cast.

But then, with roar and mighty sound,
A lion appeared, fierce and unbound.
The rooster, with courage, crowed aloud,
For lion's fear of that sound was profound.

Away the lion dashed with fright,
But the donkey thought he'd shown his might.
"I scared him off, it's clear to see!"
And off he trotted, proud as can be.

He followed the lion, feeling grand,
But away from the rooster, in a distant land,
The lion turned, with hungry eye,
The donkey realized, with a sigh.

It wasn't him the lion did fear,
His mistake had cost him, oh dear.
For a crow and a bray aren't quite the same,
And it's wise to know our true claim to fame.
