Charlie, The Cocky Rooster — Dovie Pilney

An Unforgettable Adventure!

The scene of the complete story happens way out in the country, and was considered an open range.

Charlie's job on the farm was to wake everyone up early to do their chores. Every morning bright and early he would jump on his favorite post and crow his little heart out. Wesley, his boss, never liked him and wanted to sleep late, and when Charlie crowed he'd throw his boots and even his clock to knock him off his favorite post. Charlie decided to leave because of his boss's abuse. He wanted to see if he could find a family who would appreciate him. Henryetta, the hen, comes with him and that's when the adventure begins. They meet different animals along their way to find a family that would love them. Along the journey they meet friends who also had interesting stories. One morning they watch a family of four unload a truck full of furniture into an old deserted farm house. They soon find out that nothing is perfect no matter what they do.
