One day, the cuckoo saw the rooster singing and said, "dear rooster, how loud and solemn you sing!" "
The rooster said, "But you, my dear little cuckoo, sing so sweetly and fluently. In our whole forest, a singer like you is unique! "
"My good friend, I will never get tired of listening to your songs all my life."
"And you, beautiful girl, I can swear, as long as your singing stops, I will wait for you, and I can't wait for you to sing again. Where can I have such a good voice, so beautiful, so soft and so loud! ..... Although you are petite, when it comes to your singing, how can the nightingale compare with you! "
"Thank you, in-laws, but according to my conscience, you sing more beautifully than a bird of paradise. I can say this to anyone. "
At this moment, a sparrow flew in and said to them, "Friends, although you flatter each other and make your voice hoarse, your music is still very poor ..."
Why does cuckoo flatter cock so unafraid of sin? It turns out that the rooster is also touting the cuckoo. Don't people around us often flatter each other?
