DESIGN HISTORY
The Cock was ready to marry and had put together some money to get married. On his way, he met Monkey in the middle of the road. This startled Cock because many times the Monkey has used trickery and mischief to swindle Cock. Monkey started with flattery, “Cock, where are you heading to that you are looking so dashing?”. Cock responded, “I am now ready to marry. I am on my way to my wedding ceremony”. The monkey said, “let me go with you and keep you company”. Cock, knowing full well that he doesn’t get along much with Monkey, wondered if keeping this kind of company would serve him well at his wedding.

On the other hand, if Cock chose not to agree to Monkey’s request to tag along, it’s likely Monkey would give him a callous time. So Cock had to think fast. Cock asked, “Are you sure you want to go?”, The Monkey responded, “Sure, I am game!”. Cock retorted almost immediately, “Then now we are 3 people on the road, heading to my wedding”. Curious, Monkey asked, “Then who else is with us?” Cock responded, “Oh, just at the junction ahead, the Dog is there waiting for me; we already planned to go.” Since Monkey doesn’t get along with the Dog much, the moment he heard the name of the Dog as the third person he resigned and said, “Oh, If you had already planned to go with the Dog then well, maybe it’s best you two go along as earlier planned. I won’t be able to go with you this time, wishing you all the best”.
Everyone has someone who can handle him/her.
