One sunny morning, Henny Penny was pecking at corn in the barnyard. Suddenly, an acorn fell from a tree and hit her on the head. At first, she was startled, but then she became convinced that the sky was falling. Frightened, she decided to tell the king.
Therefore, Henny Penny began her journey to the palace. Along the way, she met Cocky Locky. “Where are you going, Henny Penny?” asked Cocky Locky. “Oh, Cocky Locky, the sky is falling! I must tell the king!” Henny Penny exclaimed. Cocky Locky agreed to join her.
Next, they encountered Ducky Lucky. “Where are you going, Henny Penny and Cocky Locky?” asked Ducky Lucky. “Oh, Ducky Lucky, the sky is falling! We must tell the king!” Henny Penny replied. Consequently, Ducky Lucky decided to join them.
Then, they met Goosey Loosey. “Where are you going, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, and Ducky Lucky?” asked Goosey Loosey. “Oh, Goosey Loosey, the sky is falling! We must tell the king!” Henny Penny answered. Therefore, Goosey Loosey joined the group.
Finally, they encountered Foxy Loxy. “Where are you going, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Loosey?” asked Foxy Loxy slyly. “Oh, Foxy Loxy, the sky is falling! We must tell the king!” Henny Penny replied. Foxy Loxy saw an opportunity and invited them to his den, claiming he knew a shortcut to the palace.
However, once inside Foxy Loxy’s den, the birds realized it was a trap. They quickly escaped, learning a valuable lesson: not everything you hear is true. Despite their fright, they returned to the barnyard, grateful to be safe. From then on, Henny Penny promised to always verify facts before spreading alarming news.
