the animals say they are ordinary too!. The goose does not give
up and trys to peck the rooster and chases him into the woods.
There Dudley is chased by a fox and owl. Strangely the next morning, the
sun does not rise. Old Sol wants to hear Dudley cros. When the
horse finds out that the goose chased
Dudley into the woods, he goes and finds Dudley and brings him
back to crow and raise the sun again.
