Seize
You see an animal with some flowers and a turkey on a stool trying to seize them. The animal with the flowers is really tall so the turkey needs to stand on the stool in its attempt to seize the flowers.
Look at this turkey straining itself on the stool trying to seize the flowers, grunting with effort. You think he’ll ever get them?

The animal the turkey is trying to seize the flowers from is a cock (かく). The cock is a lot bigger than the turkey, so that’s why the turkey needs to stand on the stool in its attempt to seize those flowers.
Imagine this scene again only with a big cock holding the flowers as the turkey attempts to seize them. Hear the cock shouting cock-a-doodle-doo as it defends its flowers.
