The cock called its grandchildren and briefed them. They had anticipated the attainment of national independence.
Also, the hare and its generation were not left behind. It was very quick to lead its generation to enjoy the national cake.
The cock family were farmers. They engaged in a variety of food crop farming, including maize, beans and groundnuts hence they had farmers' interests at hand.
On the other hand, the hares were hunters and gatherers. They usually hunted and ate small insects such as white ants. Also, they had to gather roots and fruits from wild trees for food. But generally, the hare and its family were all lazy in nature.
The two groups had different meetings, each with the aim of ascending to power.
The cock was very categorical. It was very wise to inform its members about the need for authority.
"My good friends, brothers and sisters, we are gathered here to talk about power-sharing" the cock spoke.
The cock coughed slightly differently to get some attention before continuing.
"As you all know, the Alliance has gone, maybe to the land of no return! So let us unite and take the entire national leadership position" the cock further explained.
On the other hand, the hare led its family into a separate meeting. The hare and its kids were keen to discuss securing the top national passions.
As the cock when on to grab the position, the hare got upset. He used the revolution narrative to lead his fellow people into a war against the cock family.
Due to a conflict of interest, a war began. Each of the two sides was determined to win the war.
The cock's family had sharp nails as weapon to fight against them. In contrast, the hare's family had two sharp front teeth.
The cock family had to say a word to their ancestry spirits. They were strong believers in the spirit world. The cock led their fellow people in seeking spiritual intervention ahead of their battle.
In contrast, the hare were non-believers. They only believed in their unity and sharp teeth. All their strength was based on teeth.
A whistle was blown. There were two sides, the cocks' and the hares'. Each side was determined to win the battle.
The hare family had a frowning face that was terrifying. It was not a day to joke.
The hare ran to attack the cocks, but something happened. The cock flew and maintained a height slightly above them.
"What!" the hare wondered. "Do you have the ability to fly? You mean all this time you had been pretending and hiding your ability! "What a cunning creature in the world?" the hare exclaimed.
The cock's family removed pistols from their wings, cocked them ready to completely eliminate their rivals.
It was now turning messy. As the saying goes,'if you don't beat them, join them'. But the hare family was not ready to give in. But chose to ensure their safety and leave to fight another day.
The cocks realized that the war was not as serious as they had earlier perceived. They now had to use lenient attacking methods on their rivals.
The cock could scratch their enemies, leaving a permanent mark. Their sharp nails were not something to joke with. Some of the hares had deep cuts on their backs. Others ran, dodging attacks and finally finding their way into the caves.
In two hours' time, the war was over. All the hares were hiding in their caves except a few who could not make it. There were some casualties where some hares lost their lives in the struggle.
The cocks began celebrating. They won the war. Now standing on the ground, they sang heroic songs, praising their victory.
One at a time, the father Cock could step forward and say, "Ongungo hatari Namrembo Omuogo kwa Ingiland". That was a unique language the cocks spoke. It could be translated as the 'People from the Namrembo clans are very dangerous, comparing their toughness to the cassava from England.
They sang in unison, maintaining anonymous dancing styles. The dances were unique, as most swayed their waists in an interesting manner. Their wings flapped well, and their heads nodded, corresponding to the rhythm of the drum beatings that were already in place.
What next? Could Father Cock be crowned to the kingship position? But obviously they had grabbed the victory by themselves. They deserved it.
They had to plan for a coronation event. The cock had to rule the world. But now a war from within has started. The rival as to who to take the powers.
Mother Cock was also interested in the top leadership position. She led all the feminine in protest against the obvious male domination in society.
As usual, the war could create a weakness. Knowing very well that the hare may utilize their weakness for their gain, they had to agree.
After heavy consultation, they all agreed to let Mother Cock be crowned as the queen of the world.
So the event preparation went on as planned. The drums were still coming in, not to forget other musical instruments such as kayamba.
Traditional brews were available. The fire is lit in strategic places.
Father Cock announced the beginning of the long-awaited event.
"My brothers, sisters and children. "It is a great moment we have come together to witness the coronation of our own mother, Cock into the Queen of the world position," he said.
"Let us kindly stand up on our feet and have our anthem before we can proceed" Father Cock urged them.
They all sang their anthem in a jovial mood. Then they sat down.
Father Cock began with an introductory speech, "My fellow birds, I do hereby appreciate your sacrifice to realize this victory. It took more than our sweat and blood to gain it. Congratulations once more."
The father Cock then invited Mother Cock to the podium to give a speech.
Mother Cock maintained a warm, loving smile on her face. She then opened her mouth to address them.
"I am really humbled to have this responsibility to lead the world. "Let us cooperate and rule the world", Mother Cock stated.
She became emotional and couldn't speak anymore. Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
The master of ceremony then brought the event to an end. The cock's are now allowed to go on with their celebration and drinking. And dancing.
