Mother Hen was scratching for food.
She scratched the ground for some worms.
She scratched the ground for some seeds.
Then a hard pill nut fell and hit her.
Mother Hen looked up.
The clouds were dark.
The sky seemed moving.
“The sky is falling!
The sky is falling!”
She cackled and ran away.
She met father Rooster.
“What is the matter?
Why are you cackling so loud?
Why are you running so fast?”
“The sky is falling!
I am running away.
I am going to the king’s palace.
But I don’t know the way.”
“May I go with you?
Let us look for the King’s palace.’
Father Rooster and Mother Hen ran together.
They met Cousin Duck.
“What is the matter?
Why are you running so fast?
“The sky is falling!
We are running away.
We are going to the king’s palace.
But we don’t know the way.”
“May I go with you?
Let us look for the King’s palace.’
Father Rooster, Mother Hen and Cousin Duck ran together.
They met Mr. Fox.
Mr. Fox looked at the three animals.
How big and fat were their legs.
How big and fat were their breasts.
They looked juicy and tender.
“What is the matter?
Why are you running so fast?
“The sky is falling!
We are running away.
We are going to the king’s palace.
But we don’t know the way.”
“I know the King’s palace.
Come with me.
I will take you there.
Follow me.”
The fox walked ahead.
Mother Hen, Father Rooster and Cousin Duck followed him.
Mr. Fox looked back every now and then.
He wanted to be sure the three animals walked behind him.
Mr. Fox took them to a cave.
He pointed the cave to the three animals.
“Here is the King’s palace.
Walk right in.
The King is there.
I will follow you.”
The three animals walked into the cave.
Mr. Fox followed them.
Some hours later the fox came out.
The three animals did not come out.
