The Tale of the Golden Cockerel tells the story of King Dodon, who received a golden cockerel as a gift from a wise man. The cockerel warned the king of impending danger. One day, the cockerel predicted trouble, and the king set out on a campaign where he met the beautiful Queen of Shemakha. The king fell in love with her and brought her back to his kingdom. However, upon returning home, the king forgot his promise to the wise man. The wise man reminded him of his debt, but the king refused to fulfill it. In anger, the wise man used the golden cockerel to kill the king, and the queen vanished. Thus ended the story of King Dodon, who failed to keep his word.
