THE WONDERFUL HISTORY OF HENNY-PENNY.
One fine summer morning a Hen was picking peas in a farm-yard,
under a pea-stack, when a pea fell on her head with such a thump that
she thought a cloud had fallen. And she thought she would go to the
court and tell the king that the clouds were falling: so she gaed, and she
gaed, and she gaed, and she met a Cock, and the Cock said,--
"Where are you going to-day, Henny-penny?"
And she said,--
"Oh, Cocky-locky, the clouds are falling, and I am going to tell the
king."
And Cocky-locky said,--
"I will go with you, Henny-penny."
So Cocky-locky and Henny-penny they gaed, and they gaed, and they
gaed, till they met a Duck. So the Duck said,--
"Where are you going to-day, Cocky-locky and Henny-penny?"
And they said,--
"Oh, Ducky-daddles, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell the
king."
And Ducky-daddles said,--
"I will go with you, Cocky-locky and Henny-penny."
So Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny, they gaed, and
they gaed, and they gaed, till they met a Goose. So the Goose said,--
"Where are you going to-day, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky and
Henny-penny?"

And they said,--
"Oh, Goosie-poosie, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell the
king."
And Goosie-poosie said,--
"I will go with you, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny."
So Goosie-poosie, and Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, and
Henny-penny, they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they met a
Turkey. So the Turkey said,--
"Where are you going to-day, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles,
Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny?"
And they said,--
"Oh, Turkey-lurky, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell the
king."
And Turkey-lurky said,--
"I will go with you, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, and
Henny-penny."
So Turkey-lurky, and Goosie-poosie, and Ducky-daddles, and
Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny, they gaed, and they gaed, and they
gaed, till they met a Fox. So the Fox said,--
[Illustration]
"Where are you going to-day, Turkey-lurky, Goosie-poosie,
Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny?"
And they said,--
"Oh, Mr. Fox, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell the king."

And the Fox said,--
"Come with me, Turkey-lurky, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles,
Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny, and I will show you the road to the
king's house."
So they all gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they came to the
Fox's hole; and the Fox took them all into his hole, and he and his
young cubs eat up first poor Henny-penny, then poor Cocky-locky,
then poor Ducky-daddles, then poor Goosie-poosie, and then poor
Turkey-lurky; and so they never got to the king to tell him that the
clouds had fallen on the head of poor Henny-penny.
