The Cockerel and the Fox is an adaptation of a folktale or fable from the Arabian Nights: One Thousand and One Nights. It encourages questioning of strangers’ motives and being aware that other people may be inventing or exaggerating the stories they tell, as well as being smart and avoiding their traps.
