A Brave Warrior

In the depths of the chook house lurks a terrifying creature
He may look all cute and innocent, but truly he gives no one any
Peace. He sleeps at night, although he is always ready to fight.
In the morning he comes alive, ready to attack his arch enemy, and
Protect his 3 young brides. When evening comes, and the foxes hunt,
He is there on guard. No animal dares to challenge that dangerous
Beast. But of course he appears no more than a mere rooster, but
He has the heart of a warrior!
