📖 Script
Narrator: Deep in a sunny farmyard, Charlie the Rooster 🐓 flapped his wings and crowed proudly.
🐓 Charlie: “Cock-a-doodle-doo! Time to greet the day!”
Narrator: Watching from the barn roof was Luna the Cat 🐱, her tail swaying.
🐱 Luna: “Charlie, why don’t we explore the forest? It’s full of interesting things.”
Narrator: Charlie hesitated.
🐓 Charlie: “The farmer says the forest is dangerous.”
🐱 Luna: “Nonsense! You have me to protect you.”
Narrator: Curious and excited, Charlie followed Luna into the woods. Birds chirped, and sunbeams danced on the leaves. But soon, they met a fox 🦊 sitting under a tree.
🦊 Fox: “Well hello there, what a fine feast—er, I mean pair—you are!”
🐓 Charlie (nervously): “I don’t think I like him…”
🐱 Luna: “Relax. He’s just friendly.”
Narrator: But Luna had a secret. She had made a deal with the fox… one tasty rooster in exchange for a shiny fish.
Narrator: When Charlie wasn’t looking, Luna winked at the fox.
🦊 Fox: “Let me show you a shortcut.”
Narrator: But Charlie heard rustling behind them and grew suspicious.
🐓 Charlie: “I may be loud, but I’m not dumb.”
Narrator: Charlie flapped his wings and flew up to a high tree branch. The fox leapt, but missed!
🦊 Fox: “Come down, feather snack!”
🐓 Charlie: “No thanks! And Luna, I trusted you!”
Narrator: Hurt and angry, Charlie flew back to the farm. Luna tried to follow, but the farmer chased her away.
Narrator: From then on, Charlie stayed close to home, singing even louder each morning.
🐓 Charlie: “Cock-a-doodle-doo! Trust must be earned!”
