Henrietta Hen in "A Sign Of Rain"

"Don't be silly!" she cried. "Why shouldn't I think it was morning, when he crowed almost in my ear?" "Don't you know why I crowed?" the Rooster asked her. And without waiting for any reply, he said, "I crowed to let Farmer Green know it was going to rain to-morrow." Of course Henrietta Hen had to have the last word. The Rooster might have known she would. "Then," she observed, "I suppose you squawked to let him know there was a skunk in the henhouse."
