The Golden Rooster’s Revenge: A Tale of Greed and Justice”
In a land where wealth flows like rivers, a mighty King controls vast armies and countless cattle, yet his appetite for more knows no bounds. When his hunting party stumbles upon a mysterious city populated entirely by fowls—led by a magnificent golden Rooster who speaks like a man—they discover a tale of enchantment born from another ruler’s cruelty.
The Rooster reveals his tragic story: once a powerful king himself, he and all his people were cursed by a cannibalistic sorcerer whose marriage proposals he righteously rejected. Now trapped in feathered form, he can only break the spell by defeating a king more powerful than his original tormentor.
But when news of the Rooster’s wealth reaches the greedy King, he sees only an opportunity for plunder. What follows is a devastating lesson in hubris as regiment after regiment—including his elite royal bodyguard led by his own son—march confidently toward the enchanted city, only to face the fury of creatures fighting for their freedom and their very souls.
This powerful African folk tale weaves themes of greed versus generosity, justice versus tyranny, and the ultimate triumph of the righteous over those who abuse their power. A story that reminds us that true strength often comes in the most unexpected forms.
