Cock-A-Doodle Whisper

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” shouted Ricky. “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

“Please, not so loud, Ricky,” Farmer Vijay called out the window. “I don’t have to plow the fields this morning. I want to catch up on sleep.”

Ricky lowered his voice. “Cock-a-doodle-doo. Cock-a-doodle-doo.”

“A little less noisy, please,” said anju. “I’m still on summer break, so don’t have to get up early for school.”

“Cock-a-doodle-doo,” Ricky said more quietly. “Cock-a-doodle-doo.”

“Please keep it down,” said the chickens. “We want to sleep late today.”
