The performance

Little rooster is indeed little and runty. He and a hen live at the poor house of a good-hearted old man and a nagging old woman. Despite the old man’s disapproval, the old woman who thinks of him as a useless animal, he sends him away. And then, the adventure begins!

The story “The little rooster” belongs to the category of amoral folk tales. The theme in these stories is not the ethics, but to give the child the hope and assurance that even the most insignificant and humble can succeed in life.
