Whether it happened or not, there lived only one rooster. This rooster was digging in the trash and found a golden one. He flew up to the roof and shouted: “Ku-ka-re-ku, I found the money!”
The king heard, orders his Nazir-viziers to go take it away, bring it to him. The Nazir-viziers go, take it, bring it to the king. The rooster crows: “Ku-ka-re-ku, the king has appropriated my wealth!” The king gives the gold to the Nazir-viziers and says: “Take it away, give it back, otherwise this scoundrel will disgrace me to the whole world!”
Nazir-viziers go and give the golden rooster. The rooster climbs onto the roof again: “Ku-ka-re-ku, the king was scared of me!” The king is angry and orders the nazir viziers: “Go,” he says, “grab this scoundrel, cut off his head, boil him, give him to me.” I'll eat it and get rid of it!
Nazir viziers go, grab the rooster, carry it, and he shouts: “Ku-ka-re-ku, the king has invited me to visit!” They killed the rooster, put it in a cauldron, they want to cook it. The rooster does not let up: “Ku-ka-re-ku, the king sent me to a hot bath!” They boiled the rooster, brought it, and put it in front of the king.
The rooster crows: “I’m sitting at the same table with the king!” Ku-ka-re-ku! The king grabs the rooster and swallows it. The rooster is already in the king’s throat, but he keeps shouting: “I’m passing along a narrow street!” Ku-ka-re-ku!
The king sees that the rooster still won’t calm down. Orders the Nazir-Viziers to draw their sabers and stand ready. If the rooster crows again, chop.
The Nazir-Viziers drew their sabers and stood ready: one on one side, the other on the other. The rooster reached the royal stomach and again screamed: “I lived in the white world, I ended up in the dark kingdom!” Ku-ka-re-ku! - Chop! - the king orders. Nazir-viziers chop and rip open the king’s stomach. The rooster jumps out, runs, flies onto the roof and shouts: “Ku-ka-re-ku!”
