'Good day, Henny-Penny', said the Cock, 'whither away so early. 'Oh, I'm going to the Dovrefell, that the world mayn't come to an end', said the Hen. 'Who told you that, Henny-Penny', said the Cock. 'I sat in the oak and dreamt it last night', said the Hen. 'I'll go with you', said the Cock. Well! they walked on a good bit, and then they met a Duck. 'Good day, Ducky-Lucky', said the Cock.
Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey?" said Turkey-lurkey. "Why, certainly, Turkey-lurkey," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey. So Henny-penny, Cocky- locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey all went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.
Oh, dear! it was very long sitting in the dark, scrunched up behind those cans. He must tell himself stories to pass the time; and he started to relate the interminable legend of Cocky-locky and Henny-Penny who by their superior subtlety evaded the snares set for them by Toddy-Loddy the fox. He felt a sort of kinship with those harried fowls.
'How you do know that, Henny-Penny? said the Goose. 'I sat in the oak and dreamt it last night, Goosey-Poosey', said the Hen. 'I'll go with you', said the Goose. Now when they had all walked along for a bit, a Fox met them. 'Good day, Foxsy-Cocksy', said the Goose. 'Good day, Goosey-Poosey. 'Whither away, Foxy-Cocksy? 'Whither away yourself, Goosey-Poosey?
So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey: "Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey- lurkey?"
In a few minutes the room was as quiet as an empty church, save for a low voice that related an interminable story about "Cockie-Lockie and Henny-Penny going to tell the King the lift's fallen," till one, at all events, of the "blawlers" was sound asleep. The voice ceased and Tony's head appeared over the rail of his cot. "Hush!" Jan whispered. "Sister's asleep.
Only" she laughed hysterically, her face hidden against his big shoulder "I don't quite know how far these things are compatible with my new rôle!" "Of domestic Henny-Penny cluckin' in the Home Coop." His big hand patted her almost paternally. "Leave cluckin' to hens with families.
And Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey said to Foxy-woxy: "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-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey," says Foxy-woxy; "I know the proper way; shall I show it you?"
"Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling," said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. "May I come with you," said Goosey-poosey. "Certainly," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.
"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-locky. "Where are you going, Henny-penny?" says Cocky-locky. "Oh! I'm going to tell the king the sky's a-falling," says Henny- penny. "May I come with you?" says Cocky-locky. "Certainly," says Henny-penny.
