Based on a traditional folk tale
Retold by Mandy Ross
Chicken Licken is minding his chicken -pecking
business one day, when an acorn drops- PLOP! On his head. "Help!"
he cheeps. "The sky is falling down! I'd better go and tell
the king." And off he scurries. "What's the hurry?" clucks
Henny Penny.
"Oh, Henny Penny!" cheeps Chicken Licken.
"The sky is falling down! I'm off to tell the
king."
"That's not funny!" clucks Henny Penny.
"I'd better come, too." And off they scurry.
"What's the hurry?" crows Cocky Locky.
"Oh, Cocky Locky!" cheeps Chicken Licken.
"The sky is falling down! We're off to tell
the king."
"What a cock-a-doodle shock!" crows Cocky
Locky. "I'd better come, too."
So Chicken Licken, Henny Penny and Cocky
Locky scurry along to tell the king.
"What's the hurry? Quack Ducky Lucky and
Drakey Lakey. "Oh, Ducky Lucky and Drakey Lakey!" cheeps
Chicken Licken. "The sky is falling down! We're off to tell
the king." "You look very shaky!" quacks Drakey Lakey. "We'd
better come, too."
So Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky,
Ducky Lucky and Drakey Lakey scurry along to tell the king.
"What's the hurry?" honks Goosey Loosey.
"Oh, Goosey Loosey!" cheeps Chicken Licken. "The
sky is falling down! We're off to tell the king." "Goodness
gracious!" gasps Goosey Loosey. "I'd better come, too." And
off they scurry. "What's the hurry?" gobbles Turkey Lurkey.
"Oh, Turkey Lurkey!" cheeps Chicken Licken. "The
sky is falling down! We're off to tell the king." "I feel
horribly wobbly," gobbles Turkey Lurkey. "I'd better come,
too." So Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky
Lucky, Drakey Lakey, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey scurry
along to tell the king.
"What's the hurry?" snaps Foxy Loxy. "Oh,
Foxy Loxy!" cheeps Chicken Linken.
"The sky is falling down! We're off to tell
the king."
"Aha!" smiles Foxy Loxy. He has a cunning
plan. " Follow me, my feathery friends," smiles Foxy Loxy. "I
can help you find the king." So Chicken Licken, Henny Penny,
Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Drakey Lakey, Goosey Loosey and
Turkey Lurkey hurry and scurry behind Foxy Loxy, all the way
to the Foxy Loxy Family lair- just in time for dinner. And
that was the end of Chicken Licken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky,
Ducky Lucky, Drakey Lakey, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey.
And the king never did find out that the sky was falling
down. |
