Chapter 1: Rooster Tales

On Farmer Johnson's lively farm, each day began with a symphony of crowing, courtesy of the farm's proud roosters. The moment the first ray of dawn touched the horizon, Clarence, the most colourful  rooster of them all, would puff out his chest and let out a mighty crow that echoed across the fields.

Clarence was known for his vibrant feathers, a kaleidoscope of reds, blues, and greens that sparkled like a dazzling sunrise. However, despite his impressive appearance, Clarence had a secret. He wasn't as brave as he appeared to be. In fact, he was quite timid.

Each morning, as Clarence crowed to announce the arrival of a new day, he couldn't help but feel a flutter of nervousness in his feathers. It wasn't the early wake-up call that bothered him; it was the idea of leading the farm's morning routines.

Roosters, as everyone knew, were expected to be the leaders of the farm. They were responsible for waking up the other animals, organizing the day's activities, and making sure everyone was safe. Clarence often felt overwhelmed by these responsibilities and doubted his own courage.

One sunny morning, after another powerful crow that rang out like a trumpet call, Clarence noticed something unusual. The farmyard was unusually quiet. None of the animals had stirred from their slumber. The cows were still resting in the pasture, the hens remained perched in their coops, and even the mischievous mice were snoozing in the barn.

Clarence realized that something was amiss. He had forgotten to wake up the farm! Panic surged through him as he flapped his colourful  wings and dashed from one corner of the farm to the other, crowing loudly to rouse the animals from their sleep.

Soon, the farmyard came alive with the sounds of animals awakening. Cows lowed, hens clucked, and the pigs began their cheerful oinks. Clarence had done it! He had fulfilled his role as the rooster, despite his fears.

As the day went on, Clarence realized an important lesson. It wasn't the absence of fear that made him brave; it was his determination to do what needed to be done, even when he felt scared. He understood that true courage was facing his fears and taking action, no matter how colourful  or timid he might be.

From that day forward, Clarence embraced his role as the rooster with newfound confidence. He knew that even the most dazzling feathers couldn't replace the courage he had discovered within himself. And so, as the sun set on Farmer Johnson's farm, Clarence knew that every morning, he would rise to crow, heralding the start of another beautiful day in the world of farmyard tales.
