One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the rick yard when— whack! —an acorn hit her upon the head. "Goodness gracious me!" said Henny-penny, "the sky's a-going to fall; I must go and tell the King."
So, she went along, and she went along, and she went along, till she met Cocky-lucky. "Where are, you going, Henny-penny?" says Cocky- lucky. "Oh! I'm going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," says Henny- penny. "May I come with you?" says Cocky-lucky. "Certainly," says Henny-penny. So, Henny-penny and Cocky-lucky went to tell the King the sky was falling.
They went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Ducky-daddies. "Where are, you going to, Henny-penny and Cocky-lucky?" says Ducky-daddies. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-lucky. "May I come with you?" says Ducky-daddies. "Certainly," said Henny-penny and Cocky-lucky. So, Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, and Ducky-daddies went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
So, they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Goosey-posy. "Where are, you going to, Henny-penny, Cocky- lucky, and Ducky-daddies?" said Goosey-posy. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-lucky and Ducky-daddies. "May I come with you?" said Goosey-posy. "Certainly," said Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, and Ducky-daddies. So, Henny-penny,
Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, and Goosey-posy went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
So, they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Turkey-lurked. "Where are, you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, and Goosey-posy?" says Turkey-lurked. "Oh! we're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny, Cocky- lucky, Ducky-daddies, and Goosey-posy. "May I come with you, Henny- penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, and Goosey-posy?" said Turkey- lurked. "Oh, certainly, Turkey-lurked," said Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, and Goosey-posy. So, Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling.
So, they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-waxy, and Foxy-waxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked, "Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked?" And Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked said to Foxy-waxy, "We're going to tell the King the sky's a-falling." "Oh! but this is not the way to the King, Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey- lurked," says Foxy-waxy; "I know the proper way; shall I show it you?" "Oh, certainly, Foxy-waxy," said Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky- daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked. So, Henny-penny, Cocky- lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, Turkey-lurked, and Foxy-waxy all went to tell the King the sky was a-falling. So, they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they came to a narrow and dark hole. Now this was the door of Foxy-way’s burrow. But Foxy-waxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked, "This is the short cut to the King's palace: you'll soon get there if you follow me. I will go first and you come after, Henny- penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked." "Why, of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?" said Henny- penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked.
So, Foxy-waxy went into his burrow, and he didn't go very far but turned around to wait for Henny-penny, Cocky-lucky, Ducky-daddies, Goosey-posy, and Turkey-lurked. Now Turkey-lurked was the first to go through the dark hole into the burrow. He hadn't got far when—
"Humph!"
Foxy-waxy snapped off Turkey-lurker’s head and threw his body over his left shoulder. Then Goosey-posy went in, and—
"Humph!"
Off went her head and Goosey-posy was thrown beside Turkey-lurked. Then Ducky-daddies waddled down, and—
"Humph!"
