The children played all possible games and decided to start a gramophone and listen to a new disc with Krylov's fables. When TVs did not yet appear, a lot of records were released for children with songs and various works that were performed by the most famous and talented actors. So on this disc with a fable about mutual compliments of a rooster and a cuckoo, the artist seemed to crow so much that Vitka's rooster, who could not stand any competition at all, came to life and went to pacify the impudent gramophone. To the delight of the household and guests, after defeating the apparatus, the rooster ate and drank.
