"A Fowl Plan Backfires" Aesop's Fable 55 - "From Alpha to Omega" by Anne Groton

Stephen Alexander Beach 

Translation:

"When the lady hears the rooster, she commands the slave girls to hasten out of the beds and to work. The slave girls of the lady don't want to work; they sacrifice the rooster. They lady, since she does not hear the rooster, does not know the hour and commands the slaves to work early. Their own plan hurt the slave girls."
