The Bossy Rooster: A Draw Along Story For Kids
About this episode
This episode features a draw along story about a proud rooster learning the value of friendship through a Cuban folktale.
Ever been bossed around (or, ever done the bossing)? In this draw along episode, we tell a beloved Cuban folktale about a very proud rooster on his way to his uncle's wedding. When El Gallo, The Rooster, gets his magnificent beak muddy right before the ceremony, he demands that everyone around him fix the problem: the grass, the goat, the stick, the fire, the water. One by one, they all say... nooo way. It's not until Rooster stops demanding and starts asking that something beautiful happens. His old friend El Sol, the sun, reminds him that friendship is a two-way street and that even small, everyday acts of kindness matter more than we know. This folktale is told with a sprinkle of Spanish (and a whole lot of heart), making it a wonderful bilingual storytelling experience for little ears. What your child will draw: El Gallo the rooster, all dressed up with a muddy beak La hierba (grass), la cabra (goat), el palo (stick), el fuego (fire), and el agua (water) — all saying no!
