Horoz Toroz
Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a rooster named Horoz Toroz. Toroz wasn’t any more handsome or hardworking than the other roosters, but he had one unique trait: he was addicted to Twitter. Every morning, as soon as the sun rose, his first move was to grab his phone and check the latest tweets.
One morning, as the sunlight filtered through the chicken coop, Horoz Toroz was reading the news on Twitter when a tweet caught his attention. The headline screamed in all caps:
“ECONOMIC CRISIS IMMINENT! GET READY!”
Toroz panicked. Beneath the tweet were hundreds of comments, retweets, and likes. Everyone was talking about the upcoming crisis. His feathers stood on end. He quickly scrolled through more tweets, articles, and charts. Everywhere he looked, people were discussing the economic collapse.
“Oh no, the crisis is coming! What are we going to do?” Toroz thought. “I must warn everyone!”
Horoz Toroz dashed out of his coop. The first one he saw in the village square was Şükufe the Hen.
“Şükufe! Şükufe! Did you hear? A massive economic crisis is coming!” Toroz shouted.
Şükufe dropped her bag of corn in shock and asked, “What? How do you know this, Toroz?”
“I saw it on Twitter!” Toroz replied excitedly. “It’s all over the platform! The crisis is coming, we must prepare!”
Şükufe hesitated for a moment, then nodded anxiously, “If it’s on Twitter, it must be true! Let’s go warn everyone!”
Toroz and Şükufe set off to warn the entire village. First, they found Murtaza the Duck, who was sunbathing by the pond.
“Murtaza! A crisis is coming! We need to act fast!” Toroz yelled, panting.
“What crisis? Where did this come from?” asked Murtaza, confused.
“I saw it on Twitter! The economy is about to collapse, and everyone is talking about it!” said Toroz.
Murtaza, alarmed, immediately believed him. “Wow! If it’s on Twitter, it must be true! We need to figure out what to do.”
Their group grew as they marched through the village. They added Hakkı the Goose, Ferdi the Pigeon, and finally, they came across Hikmet the Fox, who was sipping coffee at a café while typing on his laptop.
“What’s going on? Why is everyone so worked up?” asked Hikmet, looking slyly at the group.
“The economic crisis is coming!” they all shouted in unison.
“Really? And how do you know this?” Hikmet asked, raising an eyebrow.
“We saw it on Twitter!” they all said proudly.
Hikmet paused, a sneaky grin forming on his face. “Well, if it’s on Twitter, it must be true. But don’t worry, friends. I know the perfect place to hide. Follow me, and I’ll keep you safe.”
Hikmet led them out of the village, across a field, and up a hill to a large, dark cave. “Come inside! There’s plenty of room for everyone. The crisis won’t reach us here, we’ll be safe. Plus, there’s plenty of money and food inside, everything we need is here!”
One by one, Horoz Toroz and all his friends entered the cave. But the next morning, they were gone. The cave was empty. Only Hikmet the Fox remained, sitting outside with a full belly, smiling smugly as he checked his Twitter feed once again.
