Henrietta Hen in "Warning The Rooster"

"What's the matter?" she inquired. "Have you eaten something that disagrees with you?" The Rooster couldn't help looking foolish. Henrietta Hen believed in letting him know that she stood in no awe of him. And while he was feeling ill at ease she hastened to tell him that hereafter he must hold onto his first crow until after sunrise. "I can't do that," he told her again, unhappily. "Don't you dare let go of it!" she warned him.
"If that first crow gets away from you while it's dark, there'll be so many others to follow it that I shan't be able to close an eye for even a cat-nap."
