A Widow who was fond of cleaning had two little maidens to wait on her.
She was in the habit of waking them early in the morning, at cockcrow. The
maidens, aggravated by such excessive labor, resolved to kill the cock who
roused their mistress so early. When they had done this, they found that
they had only prepared for themselves greater troubles, for their mistress,
no longer hearing the hour from the cock, woke them up to their work in
the middle of the night.
