Once upon a time, there were a farm. Most of the animals on the farm were happy. But Chicken Licken was not happy. Chicken Licken was a scary cat, afraid of every thing.

One day, Chicken Licken went to the forest. He stopped by an oak tree.

Suddenly, a small acorn dropped from the tree and hit Chicken Licken’s scalp. Chicken Licken didn’t see the acorn. He looked up at the blue sky. “Oh no! ” he said. “The sky must be falling. “

Chicken Licken ran around the tree. “The sky is falling! The sky is falling! ” he cried. “I must tell this to the King,” thought Chicken Licken. He hurried back to the farmyard.

Henny Penny was sitting by the hen house.

“Out of my way! ” screamed Chicken Licken.

“What’s the matter? ” asked Henny Penny.

“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
“Oh no!” said Henny Penny. “What shall we do?”
“I’m going to alert the King, ” said Chicken Licken.

“I’ll come too,” said Henny Penny.
They ran past the hen house and… Thump! They knocked into Cocky Locky.

“What’s the matter?” questioned Cocky Locky.
“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
“Oh no!” said Cocky Locky. “What shall we do?”
“We are going to inform the King,” said Henny Penny.
“I’ll come too,” said Cocky Locky.
They ran out of the farmyard.They ran past the duck pond. Ducky Lucky was swimming.
“What’s the matter? ” inquired Ducky Lucky.

“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
“Oh no!” said Ducky Lucky. “What shall we do?”
“We are going to tell the King,” said Cocky Locky.
“I’ll come too,” said Ducky Lucky.
They ran across the bridge. They came to the old barn. Gosey Loosey was sitting on her nest.
“What’s the matter? ” asked Gosey Loosey.

“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
“Oh no!” said Gosey Loosey. “What shall we do?”
“We are going to inform the King,” said Ducky Lucky.
“I’ll come too,” said Gosey Loosey.
They ran past the barn. They ran into the field. Turkey Lurkey was pecking at the ground.
“What’s the matter?” questioned Turkey Lurkey.
“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
“Oh no!” said Turkey Lurkey. “What shall we do?”
“We are going to tell the King, ” said Gosey Loosey.
“I’ll come too,” said Turkey Lurkey.
They ran through the field. Soon they came to the forest – and Foxy Loxy.
“What’s the matter?” asked Foxy Loxy.
“The sky is falling!” cried Chicken Licken.
Foxy Loxy didn’t believe the sky was falling. But he didn’t say.

“We are going to inform the King, ” said Turkey Lurkey.

“I know a secret shortcut,” said Foxy Loxy.
He guided them into the forest… and directed to a hole. “Down here, ” he said.
All of them went down the hole. “Is this where the King lives? ” asked Henny Penny.
“No,” said Foxy Loxy. “It’s where I live.” “And it’s where I’m going to gobble you all up!”
“Who will tell the King the sky is falling?” cried Chicken Licken.
“Stupid bird,” said Foxy Loxy. “The sky can’t fall.”
Just then, an acorn struck Foxy Loxy on the head. Foxy Loxy did not see it. All he could see was sky. “The sky is falling” he said. Now he was scared. He ran straight down the tunnel and was never ever seen again.

The others had seen the acorn fall on Foxy Loxy. Everybody looked at Chicken Licken.

“Are you sure the sky fell on your head?” they said.
“Maybe it was an acorn,” said Chicken Licken.
And they chased him all the way home.
