The Cockerel and the Mill is a Russian folk tale that tells the story of a kind-hearted cockerel who owns a small mill and works hard to grind grain. However, trouble arises when a greedy goat, fox, and bear steal the mill from him. Despite their strength and trickery, the cockerel cleverly outwits them with courage and persistence, eventually reclaiming what is rightfully his. The tale highlights the triumph of wit and justice over greed and brute force, reflecting the traditional values found in many Russian folk stories.
