She turned in her bed. It was the first time she would do that since she slept the previous. It was a very sound sleep. No one had disturbed her sleep because Hannah, her three years old sister,was not sleeping with her on this very night. Their grandmother had taken Hannah to sleep in her own bedroom, when she would not stop crying, for no reasons.

"Ke-ke-re-ke" Esther did not hear the cock crow, as she was asleep again, even though the big cock is on a tree inside their compound. The cock crowed again, and again. Then it was joined in the crow one after the other, and sometime they would all crow at the same time, min their different beautiful voice, as if they were an orchestra. They crowed again. And this time, she could not help but to turn in her bed. She knew the meaning of the cock crow; to announce the dawn of a new day and wake people up from their deep sleep. She hissed when she heard the sound: "ooooooh! Is it morning already? When did I sleep self, was it not just now? Won't this naughty cock's let one sleep enough?" She was talking to herself and trying to sleep again. Just then as if they were bent on forcing her to wake up, choruses, "ke-ke-re-ke", and the sleep disappear from her eyes. She looked at the clock besides her bed. The time was quarter to five.

"Ah, ah, look at the time these cock's are waking me up, don't they know we are on holiday? Or can't I sleep more now that we are not going to school? Troublesome birds they are!" She was talking and hissing all alone, since no one heard her, she did not like the idea of the common bird telling human to wake up.
