Read the excerpt from the poem "Queen of the Cats":

Old Polly was a cat of unusual grace,
With wide, yellow eyes and thin stripes on her face.
My wife took her in on a cold, autumn night,
While the north wind played the weather vane foul.

The old iron rooster screeched at the slight.

What is the meaning of the phrase the old iron rooster screeched at the slight?

The old iron rooster is announcing the dawn.
The old iron rooster is being moved by the wind.
The old iron rooster is screaming in anger.
The old iron rooster is welcoming the north wind.

The rooster's feathers perk up as they hear the sound of the north wind. The rooster and the north wind are symbols of rebirth and change. The rooster crows because of the north wind, and it is expressing its joy.

Rooster is excited about the approach of the north wind because it knows that with it will come change. The rooster is excited about this change since it marks the start of something new for him. Rooster knows that as the north wind blows, it will offer fresh experiences and chances. There's a new beginning in store for the rooster thanks to the arrival of the north wind.
