(See interpretation: chicken)

A rooster in a dream is a fan for a woman, a rival for men and a competitor in business. Sometimes a dream about a rooster foreshadows a meeting with a snobby and conceited person, which will be unpleasant for you. Slaughtering him is a sign of a breakdown in affairs. Letting him out of the house is a harbinger of your child's imminent marriage. Fighting roosters in a dream are a sign of quarrels or strife.

Hearing a rooster crowing in a dream portends news that will indicate to you that the moment has come that you should not miss. See interpretation: cry.

It is also believed that a rooster in a dream warns of treason or deceit, as well as that the time has come for an important decision to be made. If in a dream you hear the cries of roosters, then you should avoid quarrels and showdowns that can harm you. Sometimes the cry of a rooster in a dream warns against mistakes or warns of betrayal.

If you dream that a rooster laid an egg, then pleasant surprises await you, which means the arrival of pleasant guests or receiving good news. Sometimes such a dream predicts an unexpected inheritance. See interpretation: feathers, an egg in which you pluck feathers from a rooster's tail portends misfortune.

To see the bright plumage of a rooster in a dream is a sign of the imminent joyful news of the arrival of a friend or lover whom you have not seen for a long time.

We all love fairy tales with the Cockerel, because we know him well; he is not cunning and not vindictive. In some fairy tales, the Rooster steps importantly, rescues a hare from trouble, sings songs, sweeps floors. In other fairy tales, the Rooster does not sit behind the stove, does not hide in the attic, does not hide in the far yard, but takes an active part in the events taking place in a particular fairy tale. Sometimes the Rooster is naive and simple-hearted, and gets into various difficult situations, sometimes he is bold and decisive.

Once upon a time there was a cat, a thrush and a cockerel - a golden comb. They lived in the forest, in a hut. The cat and the thrush go to the forest to chop wood, and the cockerel is left alone.

Leave - severely punished:

- We will go far, and you stay housekeeping, but don't give a voice; When the fox comes, don't look out the window.

The fox found out that the cat and the thrush were not at home, ran to the hut, sat down under the window and sang:

—  Cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

The cockerel put his head out the window. The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.

The rooster crowed:

— The fox carries me

For dark forests

For fast rivers

Over the high mountains...

Cat and thrush, save me!..

The cat and the thrush heard, rushed in pursuit and took the cockerel from the fox.

Another time, the cat and the thrush went into the forest to chop wood and again punished:

“Well, now, rooster, don’t look out the window, we’ll go even further, we won’t hear your voice.

They left, and the fox again ran to the hut and sang:

—  Cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

— Guys ran,

Scattered the wheat

chickens are pecking,

Roosters are not allowed...

— Ko-ko-ko! How do they not give?

The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.

The rooster crowed:

— The fox carries me

For dark forests

For fast rivers

Over the high mountains...

Cat and thrush, save me!..

The cat and the thrush heard and gave chase. The cat runs, the thrush flies ... They caught up with the fox - the cat fights, the thrush pecks, and the cockerel was taken away.

For a long time, for a short time, the cat and the thrush again gathered in the forest to cut firewood. When leaving, they severely punish the cockerel:

— Don't listen to the fox, don't look out the window, we'll go even further, we won't hear your voice.

And the cat and the thrush went far into the forest to chop wood. And the fox is right there: she sat down under the window and sings:

—  Cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

The cockerel sits silent. And the fox - again:

— Guys ran,

Scattered the wheat

chickens are pecking,

Roosters are not allowed...

The rooster keeps silent. And the fox - again:

— People fled,

Nuts were poured

The chickens are pecking

Roosters are not allowed...

Cockerel and put his head in the window:

— Ko-ko-ko! How do they not give?

The fox grabbed him tightly in her claws, carried him to her hole, beyond dark forests, over fast rivers, over high mountains ...

No matter how much the cockerel screamed or called, the cat and the thrush did not hear him. And when they returned home, the cockerel was gone.

The cat and the thrush ran in the tracks of the foxes. The cat is running, the thrush is flying... They ran to the fox hole. The cat set up the guseltsy and let's play:

- Rubbish, nonsense, hussels,

Golden strings...

Is Lisafya-kuma still at home,

Is it in your warm nest?

The fox listened, listened and thinks:

"Let me see - who plays the harp so well, sings sweetly."

I took it and climbed out of the hole. The cat and the thrush grabbed her - and let's beat and beat. They beat and beat her until she carried her legs off.

They took a cockerel, put it in a basket and brought it home.

And since then they began to live and be, and now they live.

A.S. Pushkin

One day King Dadon Awakened by a terrible noise: “You are our king! father of the people! - The governor proclaims. - Sovereign! wake up! trouble!” - “What is it, gentlemen? - Says Dadon, yawning, - Eh?.. Who is there?..

The cockerel cries again; The king calls out to another army; He is now the smaller son Sends to the rescue of a big one. The cockerel is quiet again. No news from them again! Again eight days pass; People spend their days in fear; The cockerel cries again; The king calls the third army And leads her to the east, - Himself, not knowing whether to be of any use. Troops march day and night; They become uncomfortable. No battle, no camp, No grave mound Tsar Dadon does not meet. "What a miracle?" he thinks. This is the eighth day already, The king leads the army to the mountains And between high mountains He sees a silk tent. All in silence wonderful Around the tent; in a narrow gorge The beaten army lies. King Dadon hurries to the tent... What a terrible picture! Before him are his two sons Without helmets and without armor Both are dead The sword plunged into each other. Their horses roam in the middle of the meadow On trampled grass, On the blood ant... The king howled: “Oh, children, children! Woe is me! caught in the net Both of our falcons! Woe! my death has come. Everyone howled for Dadon, Moaned with a heavy groan The depth of the valleys, and the heart of the mountains Shocked. Suddenly a tent It opened up... and the girl, Shamakhan queen, All shining like the dawn Quietly met the king. Like a bird of the night before the sun, The king fell silent, looking into her eyes, And he forgot in front of her Death of both sons. And she is in front of Dadon Smiled - and with a bow She took him by the hand And she took her to her tent. There she put him at the table, She treated me with every kind of food; laid to rest On a brocade bed And then, exactly one week, Submit to her unconditionally bewitched, enraptured, Dadon feasted with her. Finally on the way back With your military strength And with a young girl The king went home. Rumor ran before him, Fact and fiction divulged. Under the capital, near the gates, The people greeted them with noise, - Everyone runs after the chariot For Dadon and the queen; Welcome to Dadon... Suddenly he saw in the crowd In a white Sarachin hat, All like a gray swan, His old friend, the eunuch. "BUT! great, my father, - The king said to him, - what do you say? Come closer! What do you order?” - - Tsar! - the sage answers, - Finally, let's figure it out Do you remember? for my service Promised me as a friend My first will You perform as your own. Give me a girl. - Queen of Shamakhan... - The king was extremely surprised. "What you? he said to the old man, Or has the demon got into you? Or are you out of your mind? What did you take into your head? Of course I promised But everything has a limit! And why do you want a girl? Come on, do you know who I am? Ask you from me Though the treasury, even the rank of boyar, Even a horse from the royal stable, At least half my kingdom." - I don't want anything! Give me a girl Shamakhan queen, - The sage speaks in response. The king spat: “So dashing: no! You won't get anything. You yourself, a sinner, torment yourself; Get out, whole for now; Pull the old man away!” The old man wanted to argue But with others it is costly to quarrel; The king seized him with a rod On the forehead; he fell down, And the spirit is out. - The whole capital shuddered; and the girl - Hee hee hee! yes ha ha ha! Not afraid to know sin. The king, although he was greatly alarmed, He chuckled softly at her. Here he enters the city ... Suddenly there was a slight sound And in the eyes of the whole capital The cockerel fluttered off the needle; Flew to the chariot And sat on the crown of the king, Startled, pecked at the crown And soared... and at the same time Dadon fell from the chariot - He gasped once, and he died. And the queen suddenly disappeared, It was like it didn't happen at all. The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it! Good fellows lesson.

Once a rooster jumped onto the roof of the house and wanted to see the whole world from there. He craned his neck, turned his head back and forth, but saw nothing - the mountain that stood in front of the house closed the horizon for him. - Doggie-jan, do you happen to know what is over there, behind the mountain? - the rooster asked the dog lying in the yard. "I don't know," replied the dog. Our whole life will pass, and we will never know anything. Let's go and see the world! The dog agreed. They packed up and hit the road.

The fox heard this: "Aha! Someone is crowing here - it's good! I must have a wonderful breakfast!" she thought, and hurried to the tree on which the rooster sat. - Good morning, cockerel-jan! What are you doing there so early? the fox asks. - We travel. We want to see the world, - the rooster answers. - Oh, what a great idea! It's such a smart idea to travel to see the world! exclaimed the fox in admiration. – The fact is that I also have the same dream. But I don’t have a friend with whom I could go on a journey. And can I go with you. “Yes, I don’t mind,” says the rooster. Only, now, I'll ask my friend what he thinks about it. Wait a minute, I'll find out now. - Where is your friend? - Yes, here he is - under a bush, by a tree. "His buddy must be another rooster. That's good: breakfast is already there, so there will also be lunch!" - the fox thought happily and rushed into the bushes. Suddenly, seeing a dog there, she was so frightened that she rushed to run away at full speed. - Hey, fox-jan! Don't rush like that, be patient a little, we're already on our way too. Also me, a friend is called! - a rooster shouted merrily after her from a tree branch

Rooster and peacock

Kalmyk fairy tale

In distant, gray times lived neighbors: a rooster and a peacock. The rooster was handsome and well-dressed. Its golden feathers, dazzlingly shining, shimmered under the sun's rays. All the birds envied the rooster. Many of them, sitting in the trees, plaintively sang: why don't they have such a beautiful outfit as a rooster's? The rooster was important and proud. He spoke to no one but the peacock. He walked with an important gait and also importantly pecked grains.
The rooster was friends with the peacock. Whether he was condescending to the peacock because his outfit was poor, whether he was friends with him because they were close neighbors, I don’t know, but they lived together.
Once a peacock was going to a distant land to visit. The peacock was sad that his outfit was too poor. With envy, he looked at the rooster and thought: “How lucky I would be if I had such a beautiful outfit like a rooster. What I have? Nothing but miserable feathers. How can I appear in a foreign land in such a miserable form! No, I'm ashamed to seem like a stranger in this form. Why not turn to the rooster? I'd rather ask him for his outfit. Will he refuse me?
And the peacock turned to the rooster with this request, promising to return by the next morning.
The rooster thought and said:
“What am I going to do if you don’t show up at dawn tomorrow?”
Peacock replied:
“If I don’t come by dawn, then you shout, I will definitely come to your call.” But if I am not in the morning, then cry at noon, and if I do not appear at noon, then cry in the evening. By evening, of course, I will.
The rooster believed the peacock, took off his beautiful outfit and gave it to him, and dressed himself in peacock feathers. In a beautiful dress of a rooster, the peacock became the most beautiful bird. Joyful and proud, he went to distant lands.
Day passed. The night has passed. A peacock rooster is waiting. But there is no peacock. The rooster was worried. The rooster could not stand it, shouted:
— Ku-ka-re-ku!
And again, again, but there is no peacock. The rooster was sad. Waiting for noon. It's noon. The rooster crows again. No peacock. Looking forward to the evening. Evening has come. Again the rooster crows, calls the peacock, but the peacock has gone cold.
And so the peacock disappeared, and with it the beautiful outfit of the rooster.
Since then, every day, the roosters three times - in the morning, at noon and in the evening - call the peacock, which carried away their former beautiful outfit.

Once a huge Rooster came to the Elephant and shouted loudly:
- Ku-ka-re-ku! The elephant was surprised:
- Why are you pissed off.
And the Rooster rakes rubbish with his paws, pecks at the grains and no, no, yes, he will scream again.
- Cook-re-coo!
He looked, looked the Elephant at the Rooster and asks:
Who eats more, you or me?
- I'll eat more! - the Rooster answered bravely. They began to argue. Argued, argued and let's eat. The elephant ate, ate, and fell asleep.
He woke up, he sees - the Rooster is still pecking at the grain. The elephant started eating again. Ate-ate - fell asleep again.
The Elephant woke up, sees the evening is approaching, and the Rooster continues tirelessly pecking at the grain - Quickly, quickly pecks and again:
- Ku-ka-re-ku!
“How greedy he is! The elephant was surprised. “I have never seen such a voracious animal.”
And the Rooster put on airs that he won the dispute.

An old man lived with an old woman, and they lived in great poverty. All they had was a rooster and a dog, and they didn’t feed them well. So the dog says to the rooster:
- Come on, brother Petka, let's go to the forest: life here is bad for us.
“Let’s go,” says the rooster, “it won’t get worse.”
So they went where their eyes look. Wandered all day; it began to get dark - it's time for the night to pester. They went off the road into the forest and chose a large hollow tree. The rooster flew up on the bough, the dog climbed into the hollow and fell asleep.
In the morning, just as the dawn began to break, the rooster crowed: “Ku-ku-re-ku!” The fox heard the rooster; she wanted to eat rooster meat. So she went up to the tree and began to praise the rooster:
- Here is a cock so a cock! I have never seen such a bird: and what beautiful feathers, and what a red crest, and what a sonorous voice! Fly to me, handsome.
- And for what business? - asks the rooster.
- Let's go to visit me: today I have a housewarming party, and a lot of peas are in store for you.
- Well, - says the rooster, - but I can’t go alone: ​​my comrade is with me.
“What happiness has come! - thought the fox. “There will be two roosters instead of one.”
- Where is your friend? she asks. - I'll invite him over.
“He spends the night there, in a hollow,” replies the rooster.
The fox rushed into the hollow, and her dog by the muzzle - tsap! .. Caught and tore the fox.
