episode 062 - THE FARMYARD COCK AND THE WEATHERCOCK

toddYoungONLINE presents Young Tales. Tales for the Young and the Young at Heart.

Today's story... The Farmyard Cock and the Weather Cock by Hans Christian Andersen.

Discover the tale of two cocks—one on a dunghill and the other on a roof. Both are proud, but which one is truly more useful? This whimsical story unfolds in a farmyard divided by a wooden partition, featuring a cucumber that dreams of the yardcock's attention and a weathercock that looks down on all other creatures.

As a storm brews and the partition falls, the yardcock and the cucumber finally meet. The yardcock's crowing and the weathercock's disdain for the world reveal deeper truths about pride, usefulness, and the nature of boasting.

Join us as Todd Young narrates this charming story, filled with colorful characters and an enduring moral: "Better to crow than to be vainglorious and break down at last."
