The Rooster Demanded To Know

He, being the all-powerful rooster, was pecking orders at the hens.
They were rolling their eyes and making fun, especially the twins.
He stopped strutting and demanded to know what they had said.
They told him, and his cockscomb turned a darker shade of red.

Roosters can be soooo arrogant. That's why they are the first of the flock to lose their heads! Well, there are other reasons, but that's a good one!
