Channel: Knowledge Dump
Date: 2020-09-25

It’s the early hours of the morning and nature’s critters are waking. The quiet of the night has left us and you're still asleep in your bed. The moon has sunk below the horizon as the sky begins to have a golden glow. Suddenly you are awoken by your prize rooster’s cock-a-doodle-doo. The rooster is nature's alarm clock and the day has finally started.
