The Paper Crown

A Black Australorp rooster with glossy black plumage and a green sheen in a deep red wool jumper with a white snowflake band and a gold paper crown, perched on a chair at a candlelit dining table laid with a roast leg of lamb and a Christmas pudding in a Blue Mountains guesthouse, a log fire in the hearth and frost on the window, misty eucalyptus forest outside
