THE INSOMNIA OF THE ARMADILLO

      An armadillo with insomnia took his violin and started to play. The hens that were his neighbors woke up in the middle of the night with the sound and complained to the cock. The cock went to the house of the armadillo and said:

   -I am going to break that violin on your head. So you get to sleep and me and the hens also get.
