One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the cornyard when something hit her upon the head. Goodness gracious me, said Henny-penny, the sky is a-falling, 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 am going to tell the king the sky is a-falling, says Henny-penny. May I come with you, says Cocky-locky. Certainly, says Henny-penny. So Henny-penny and Cocky-locky went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.
