You may have already heard the story of Henny Penny. And you may know how Henny Penny’s foolishness led her to a terrible end. This is not the real story. Let’s start this amazing story.
Henny Penny was busy in her kitchen making a big corn cake. She mixed it, whisked it, she stirred it, and put it in the oven to bake.
“What a delicious cake that will be! But, oh dear. There is cornmeal everywhere.” Said Henny Penny. And she picked up a dustcloth and begun to dust.
“Atchoo!” sneezed Henny Penny. “Atchoo! I must take my dustcloth outside and shake it.” She hurried outside to shake her dustcloth this way and that. When she was shaking it, an acorn fell from the oak tree and landed on Henny Penny’s head.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.” Clucked Henny Penny. “Mercy, mercy me! I do believe the sky is falling! What shall I do? I must go and tell the king.”
And she stuffed her dustcloth into her pocket and set off down the road. She hadn’t gone far when met Ducky Lucky. “Hello, Henny Penny,” said Ducky Lucky. “You seem to be in a terrible hurry. Where are you going?”
“Oh, Ducky Lucky, I was shaking my dustcloth, and all of a sudden the sky fell down. I do not know what to do, so I am going to tell the king.” Said Henny Penny.
“Quack, quack.” Quacked Ducky lucky. “If the sky is falling, I had better come with you.” So Henny Penny and ducky lucky down the road together.
They had not gone very far when they met Cocky Locky. “Hello, Henny Penny and Ducky lucky,” said Cocky Locky. “You seem to be in a terrible hurry. Where are you going?”
“Oh, Cocky Locky, I was shaking my dustcloth, and all of a sudden the sky fell down. I do not know what to do, so I am going to tell the king.” Said Henny Penny.
“Cock-a-doodle-Doo.” crowed Cocky Locky. “If the sky is falling, I had better come with you.” So Henny Penny, cocky locky, and ducky lucky down the road together.
They had not gone very far when they met Goosey Loosey. “Hello, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, and Cocky locky,” said Goosey Loosey. “You seem to be in a terrible hurry. Where are you going?”
“Oh, Goosey Loosey, I was shaking my dustcloth, and all of a sudden the sky fell down. I do not know what to do, so I am going to tell the king.” Said Henny Penny.
“Hiss, hiss.” Hissed goosey loosey. “If the sky is falling, I had better come with you.” So Henny Penny, cocky locky, goosey loosely, and ducky lucky down the road together.
They had not gone very far when they met Turkey Lurkey. “Hello all,” said Turkey Lurkey. “You seem to be in a terrible hurry. Where are you going?”
“Oh, Turkey Lurkey, I was shaking my dustcloth, and all of a sudden the sky fell down. I do not know what to do, so I am going to tell the king.” Said Henny Penny.
“Gobble, gobble.” Gobbled Turkey Lurkey. “If the sky is falling, I had better come with you.” So Henny Penny, cocky locky, goosey loosey, Turkey Lurkey, and ducky lucky down the road together.
They had not gone very far when they met Foxy Loxy. “Hello all,” said Turkey Lurkey. “You seem to be in a terrible hurry. Where are you going?”
“Oh, Foxy Loxy, I was shaking my dustcloth, and all of a sudden the sky fell down. I do not know what to do, so I am going to tell the king.”
“How sensible you are,” said Foxy Loxy and he smiled a sharp-toothed smile. “And do you know which way to go?” She stopped and thought about it. “How silly I am.” She said. “No, I don’t.” “Then let me show you. Just follow me.” Said Foxy Loxy.
So Henny Penny, cocky locky, goosey loosey, Turkey Lurkey, and ducky lucky started to follow Foxy Loxy. Foxy Loxy led them through the grass and bushes. They were in a dusty musty kitchen in a dusty musty house. Foxy loxy shut the door behind them.
Turkey Lurkey asked, “Is this where the king lives?”. “No, my dears,” said Foxy loxy. “This is my house. I thought we could have dinner before we see the king. Just sit yourselves down and I will light the fire.”
Henny Penny stood very still and looked around. She saw feathers on the floor and old bones in the corner. She saw foxy loxy putting a big pot of water on the fire. And she saw him set the table with one fork, one plate, and one big sharp knife.
She felt nervous and said to herself. “I may be silly, but surely there is something I can do.” She had an idea.
“Oh, foxy loxy. What a mess. Do let me tide up around here!” Said Henny Penny. And she pulled her dustcloth out of her pocket. Foxy loxy was very surprised. Cocky locky, goosey loosey, Turkey Lurkey, and ducky lucky stared at her and said “What about our dinner?”
“Let’s make Foxy loxy comfortable first.” Said Henny Penny. “Now, Loxy Foxy you sit down and take a little rest. I will give your room a polish. And we will wake you up when it’s clean.” Foxy loxy stroked his whiskers. His house certainly was messy, now that he looked around.
“Very well then. But be sure to wake me up the moment you have finished.” Said foxy loxy.
She started dusting and in some time Foxy Loxy began to snore. After that, she explained to all what Foxy loxy is about to do with them. Foxy loxy opened the door and all escaped from that house. Foxy loxy woke up just as the door banged shut behind him.
After that, they all went to Henny Penny’s house and had a wonderful corn cake. After that, they came out of the house and an acorn fell from the oak tree and landed on Henny Penny’s head. And she shouted that sky is falling again. After that Cocky locky, goosey loosey, Turkey Lurkey, and ducky lucky laughed at Henny Penny and told her that was not a sky, it was an acorn.
Henny Penny laughed at herself for foolishness.
