From early childhood, the smallest book lovers see this bird on the pages of children's publications. After all, there are a huge number of nursery rhymes, songs, poems, fairy tales and proverbs, where the rooster is the main character.

Petya-Petushok is an affectionate nickname for a rooster in fairy tales. His image is colorful and bright. Examples of rooster behavior largely coincide with human behavior. In some tales, he is weak, frivolous, disobedient, overly trusting and self-confident. His disobedience and violation of prohibitions leads to trouble. A prime example This is the fairy tale "The Cockerel - the Golden Comb", where the fox steals him, and his friends rush to his rescue.

In others, he is a sage, adviser, assistant and protector of the weak, a good watchman, cunning and quick-witted, possessing magical powers. This image can be seen in such folk tales as "Zayushkina's hut", "Cockerel-golden scallop and miracle chalk", "Rooster and millstones".

In folklore, the rooster is a symbol of protecting the house from evil. The red comb on the head of a rooster is a symbol of knowledge and talent, mostly literary. Spurs on the paws are a symbol of fearlessness. The rooster is not afraid of difficulties. With his paws, he diligently rakes the ground, and finds a pearl grain. And this means that the rooster is a hardworking bird. As, for example, in the fairy tale "The Cockerel and the Two Mice".

As a literary hero endowed with character, he is especially often found in author's fairy tales and fables. Let us recall A.S. Pushkin’s “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel”, G.Kh. E. Karganova, fables by I.A. Krylov and S. Mikhalkov.

The people created a multi-valued image of the Cockerel - their favorite: if in a fairy tale he is an assistant to poor people, protecting them from the rich, skeptical of kings, then in proverbs and jokes the Cockerel is different - provocative, daring, always ready to fight. The state of some people was determined by his name - to rooster ... A perky fighter is called a rooster. The rooster is always with the people: they count the time (“Get up to the roosters”, “With the roosters”, “The first roosters are midnight”, “The second ones are before dawn”, “The third ones are dawn”).
In proverbs, the image of a rooster is versatile - it is also an assistant in the house, the owner in the chicken coop, although sometimes he is arrogant, pugnacious and stupid, but always handsome. Here are some well-known proverbs: “A good housewife will cook an ear out of a rooster” (as they say about a skilled person), “I got into a pluck like a rooster” (symbolizes a person in trouble), “When a roasted rooster pecks” (means until trouble happens), “The cuckoo praises the rooster for praising the cuckoo” (as they say when they hint at the insincerity of someone's praise).
Riddles about the rooster have evolved since ancient times. Basically, the riddle is based on the beautiful appearance of this bird, on the ability to wake everyone up in the morning with its loud voice. For a proud posture and spurs, riddles equate a cockerel with persons of a princely, royal family. Pomp, arrogance, beauty, courage and apparent severity are also noted in riddles about the cockerel.
Tail with patterns
Boots with spurs
sings at night,
Time counts.

An old man lived with an old woman, and they lived in great poverty. All they had was a rooster and a dog, and they didn’t feed them well. So the dog says to the rooster:
- Come on, brother Petka, let's go to the forest: life here is bad for us.
“Let’s go,” says the rooster, “it won’t get worse.”
So they went where their eyes look. Wandered all day; it began to get dark - it's time for the night to pester. They went off the road into the forest and chose a large hollow tree. The rooster flew up on the bough, the dog climbed into the hollow and fell asleep.
In the morning, just as the dawn began to break, the rooster crowed: “Ku-ku-re-ku!” The fox heard the rooster; she wanted to eat rooster meat. So she went up to the tree and began to praise the rooster:
- Here is a cock so a cock! I have never seen such a bird: and what beautiful feathers, and what a red crest, and what a sonorous voice! Fly to me, handsome.
- And for what business? - asks the rooster.
- Let's go to visit me: today I have a housewarming party, and a lot of peas are in store for you.
- Well, - says the rooster, - but I can’t go alone: ​​my comrade is with me.
“What happiness has come! - thought the fox. “There will be two roosters instead of one.”
- Where is your friend? she asks. - I'll invite him over.
“He spends the night there, in a hollow,” replies the rooster.
The fox rushed into the hollow, and her dog by the muzzle - tsap! .. Caught and tore the fox.

Once upon a time there was a cat, a thrush and a cockerel - a golden comb. They lived in the forest, in a hut. The cat and the thrush go to the forest to chop wood, and the cockerel is left alone.

Leave - severely punished:

- We will go far, and you stay housekeeping, but don’t give a voice; When the fox comes, don't look out the window.

The fox found out that the cat and the thrush were not at home, ran to the hut, sat down under the window and sang:

- cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

The cockerel put his head out the window. The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.

The rooster crowed:

- The fox carries me

For dark forests

For fast rivers

Over high mountains...

Cat and thrush, save me!..

The cat and the thrush heard, rushed in pursuit and took the cockerel from the fox.

Another time, the cat and the thrush went into the forest to chop wood and again punished:

- Well, now, rooster, do not look out the window, we will go even further, we will not hear your voice.

They left, and the fox again ran to the hut and sang:

- cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

The boys were running

Scattered the wheat

chickens are pecking,

Roosters are not allowed...

— Ko-ko-ko! How do they not give?

The fox grabbed him in her claws and carried him to her hole.

The rooster crowed:

- The fox carries me

For dark forests

For fast rivers

Over high mountains...

Cat and thrush, save me!..

The cat and the thrush heard and gave chase. The cat runs, the thrush flies ... They caught up with the fox - the cat fights, the thrush pecks, and the cockerel was taken away.

For a long time, for a short time, the cat and the thrush again gathered in the forest to cut firewood. When leaving, they severely punish the cockerel:

- Do not listen to the fox, do not look out the window, we will go even further, we will not hear your voice.

And the cat and the thrush went far into the forest to chop wood. And the fox is right there: she sat down under the window and sings:

- cockerel, cockerel,

golden scallop,

butter head,

silk beard,

Look out the window

I'll give you peas.

The cockerel sits silent. And the fox again:

The boys were running

Scattered the wheat

chickens are pecking,

Roosters are not allowed...

The rooster keeps silent. And the fox again:

- People fled

Nuts were poured

The chickens are pecking

Roosters are not allowed...

Cockerel and put his head in the window:

— Ko-ko-ko! How do they not give?

The fox grabbed him tightly in her claws, carried him to her hole, beyond dark forests, over fast rivers, over high mountains ...

No matter how much the cockerel screamed or called, the cat and the thrush did not hear him. And when they returned home, the cockerel was gone.

The cat and the thrush ran in the tracks of the foxes. The cat is running, the thrush is flying... They ran to the fox hole. The cat set up the guseltsy and let's play:

- Tribulation, nonsense, guseltsy,

Golden strings...

Is Lisafya-kuma still at home,

Is it in your warm nest?

The fox listened, listened and thinks:

"Let me see - who plays the harp so well, sings sweetly."

I took it and climbed out of the hole. The cat and the thrush grabbed her - and let's beat and beat. They beat and beat her until she carried her legs off.

They took a cockerel, put it in a basket and brought it home. And since then they began to live and be, and now they live.

A rooster in a dream is a fan for a woman, a rival for men and a competitor in business. Sometimes a dream about a rooster foreshadows a meeting with a snobby and conceited person, which will be unpleasant for you. Slaughtering him is a sign of a breakdown in affairs. Letting him out of the house is a harbinger of your child's imminent marriage. Fighting roosters in a dream are a sign of quarrels or strife.

Hearing a rooster crowing in a dream portends news that will indicate to you that the moment has come that you should not miss. See interpretation: cry.

It is also believed that a rooster in a dream warns of treason or deceit, as well as that the time has come for an important decision to be made. If in a dream you hear the cries of roosters, then you should avoid quarrels and showdowns that can harm you. Sometimes the cry of a rooster in a dream warns against mistakes or warns of betrayal.

If you dream that a rooster laid an egg, then pleasant surprises await you, which means the arrival of pleasant guests or receiving good news. Sometimes such a dream predicts an unexpected inheritance. See interpretation: feathers, an egg in which you pluck feathers from a rooster's tail portends misfortune.

To see the bright plumage of a rooster in a dream is a sign of the imminent joyful news of the arrival of a friend or lover whom you have not seen for a long time.
