The author recalled that next to White’s grandmother’s house, there lived a rooster. One day, the seventh grader decided to terrorize the bird. However, it didn’t turn out the way he expected. She wrote, “One day Dana thought it would be funny to chase this rooster and scare it. That old rooster turned the tables on Dana. Roosters are not friendly little creatures, and unlike wild birds, they do not fly away when confronted. I was laughing the minute Dana’s grandmother and uncle started telling me the story because I knew where it was going.”

Although White’s mother admitted to having laughed hard while talking about it, she recalled her own experience with poultry. Furthermore, she wrote, “The rooster that Dana thought he was going to terrorize went at him instead, and that rooster chased Dana all over the place. From that day on, every time the rooster spotted Dana outside, the bird would go after him and Dana would take off running, terrified. His uncle and grandmother told everyone the story of big bad Dana and the rooster who terrorized him, and they could not stop laughing every time theory told someone new the story. They said it was one of the funniest things they had ever seen.”
