Two best friends, a Dog and a Cock, leave their farm for adventure and spend the night in a hollow tree in the woods. When the Cock crows at dawn, he attracts a hungry Fox who tries to lure him down with false compliments. The clever Cock, however, tells the Fox to ask his "porter" (the Dog) at the base of the tree to let him in. When the unsuspecting Fox approaches the tree's opening, the Dog immediately seizes him, demonstrating how quick thinking and cooperation between friends can overcome danger posed by flattering enemies.
