One day, one of the servants said, “We must get rid of the rooster. If the rooster is not around to crow, she won’t wake up as early. We will have longer, undisturbed sleep”. The other servant also liked the idea.

The next morning, they carried out their plan, and the rooster died. Without the rooster’s crow to signal the break of dawn, the old woman was left in the dark about the appropriate time to rise. She found herself waking up earlier than ever before, and as soon as she was up, she would immediately call her servants to wake up.
