Students can refer to the following brief and creative sample retellings of "The Rooster and the Fox":
| Sample 1: Retelling the story "The Rooster and the Fox" in my own words One fine morning, perched high on a tree branch, the Rooster was observing his surroundings. Being shrewd and experienced, he became wary as the Fox appeared, approaching with a sly smile. The Fox spoke sweetly: “Hey there, Rooster friend! Come down here. I bring good news for you! From today, all creatures, strong or weak, will befriend and live in peace. I’m truly joyful to bring you this news. Come down so I can greet and express my friendship!” Seeing the Fox's deceitful demeanor, the Rooster chuckled internally. However, he maintained a calm appearance and replied: “Oh, I'm so pleased to hear this news. Peace between roosters and foxes is indeed something to celebrate. Oh look, there comes a pair of hunting dogs, I’m sure they also want to share the good news!” Upon hearing about the hunting dogs, the Fox was terrified, his face turned pale, and he fled in panic, tail between his legs, fleeing for his life. Watching the Fox disappear into the distance, the Rooster laughed with delight: “Deceitful creature! Those like you are only good at deceiving but can't harm anyone!” Sample 2: Retelling the story "The Rooster and the Fox" from the Rooster's perspective That morning, I was standing high on a tree branch, enjoying the peaceful scenery. From afar, I saw a cunning being approaching — it was the Fox. Its face was deceptively sweet, tail wagging, and its eyes were full of schemes. It looked up at me and spoke in a honeyed voice: “Hey there, Rooster friend, come on down! I bring good news for you. From now on, all our species will live in harmony, no more enmity. Come down so I can express my friendship to you!” I knew too well its deceitful tricks. This sweet mouth surely planned to harm me. Thinking that, I still acted cheerful, calmly replying: “Oh, what great news! I’d also love to celebrate peace. Look over there, a pair of hunting dogs is coming too, surely they want to hear the good news!” Upon hearing about the hunting dogs, the Fox turned pale, its legs trembling. It immediately turned and ran away, not uttering another word. Watching it run far away, I couldn't help but laugh: “Deceitful one! Those schemers like you will never deceive me!” Sample 3: Retelling the story "The Rooster and the Fox" from the Fox's perspective That day, the weather was beautiful, so I decided to go out and find a little snack. As I was creeping near the forest edge, I suddenly saw a plump Rooster perched on a high branch. “Today is my lucky day!”—I thought. But catching it won’t be easy; I’ll need to use some cunning! I took a deep breath, put on my brightest smile, and pretended to be friendly: “Hey there, Rooster friend! I bring you great news. From now on, all creatures will live in harmony, no one will fear anyone anymore. Come down here, let's celebrate peace!” I thought that with such sweet words, the Rooster would fall into the trap. But no, it acted cheerful and suddenly pointed far away, saying something that made my heart skip a beat: “Oh, a pair of hunting dogs is coming over, they surely want to hear the good news too!” Hunting dogs? I didn’t have time to think further; my limbs trembled. In my head, I had one thought: “Run, or I'll be caught!” I turned and ran for dear life, not daring to look back. Oh heavens, I missed my meal this time! What a bother! But better to run than be caught by the hunting dogs. Sample 4: Retelling the story "The Rooster and the Fox" in a humorous, witty tone One fine morning, the Rooster was leisurely perched atop a tall tree. Nothing could escape the eyes of this sharp Rooster chap. Suddenly, the Fox appeared, face as bright as a flower, voice as sweet as sugar cane. “Hey buddy, come down here!” — the Fox exclaimed excitedly, “I have amazing news! From now on, creatures great and small will all be friends. No more enemies! Come down so I can give you a hug and show our friendship!” The Rooster nearly burst into laughter after hearing this. “This old trick won’t work anymore!”—he thought. But to let the Fox fall into his own trap, the Rooster pretended to respond: “How wonderful! Truly good news! Oh, but look, do you see? A pair of hunting dogs is running towards, surely they want to share in our joy!” Hearing about the hunting dogs, the Fox jerked back in fright. Its face turned pale, legs trembled. “Oh dear, it's time to run!”—the Fox thought and ran off without saying goodbye, disappearing into the bushes. The Rooster watched and laughed heartily: “Ha! Deception will always show its true face, and you intended to trick me? No way!” |
