"But this is no food, you long-eared toad... A carrot is good for only a goat!" "A goat I am not, now hand me a can, I wish for a can with lots and lots of ham!" The friends had no can, they never touched ham. So Jeffy got mad... Until he spied a rat. A what? A rat?? That was no rat! It was poor little Wheek who let out a squeak! "No no, Jeffy, do not, do not eat the poor guinea, he does not taste good!" "Will nobody save us," The friends did cry. "From this thieving tomcat, Who just walked by And took hat and carrot!" Unfair! Not fine! Bad style! "Cock-a-doodle-DOOO!" A mighty shout! The valley went quiet... What *was* that sound? And out he strutted, And he looked so proud. His feathers a-glowing, As he gave another shout. "My name be Chook! As you can see... I be the prettiest And I heard your plea!"
