- 4. ~Henny Penny throwsher wingsin theair. "But of COURSE it is, Chicken Little! We'reall going to die! WeMUST tell theking!" Chicken Littlestill looked unsure. When sheturned her back, Henny threw a pieceof an acorn at thechicken- thisinstigated another panic attack. ~Chicken Little, afew momentslater, began calming down from her attack, so shestopped Henny Penny. "What if thesky isn't falling, Henny?" sheasks.
- 5. ~"Whereareyou guysgoing?" heasked, uninterestedly. Hedidn't really carewherethey were going, but they would go away faster if hepretended. ~Later, half-dragging thedistraught Chicken Little, Henny Penny and Chicken Littlecameupon Ducky Lucky. ~"Thesky isfalling! Thesky isfalling! We'regoing to tell theking!" Henny and Chicken said- Henny started crying on Ducky Lucky, and Chicken Little wasout of breath nervous. ~"Oh no...you guysshould go tell him." Chicken Littleand Henny Penny convinced him, despitehislethargy and unhappiness, to join them.
- 6. ~They all ran asfast asthey could- Henny Penny in front, flailing her wingsand squawking in distress, Chicken Littlein themiddle looking nervously around her, and Ducky Lucky lagging behind. Soon they met Goosey Loosey walking down theroadside. ~Shehad been looking for them, feeling lonely, and assoon asshesaw them sheperked up. "Thereyou all are! Whereareyou going in such ahurry?" Henny Penny explained with aflair, and Goosey (although shewasn't completely buying it) wasn't being left without them! ~"I must run with you then!...don't leaveme," shesaid, clutching on to Ducky Lucky. Then they all began running again acrossafield.

"Thesky isfalling," Ducky Lucky explained sadly. "And we'reall...together...going to tell theking!" added Goosey Loosey. "I alwayssuspected thesky would fall someday. Although I wouldn't tell theking, heorchestrated it. It'saplot to draw meout, I know it, I know it!" Turkey Lurkey said, still on theground.
- 8. ~No," Goosey Loosey insisted, "you must comewith us. I haven't seen you in so long, you'veforgotten about me!" ~Finally, Turkey Lurkey wasconvinced to comeconfront theking about hisplot to kill theturkey. They all went running, and eventually met Foxy Loxy.

We'retrying to get to theking, and maybeafter wetell him I will beableto breatheagain!" ~"Part of it fell on my head too!" Henny Penny lied. ~Noneof it fell on mine. I don't know why I'm here, Ducky Lucky griped. ~"I havemissed you so much!" Goosey Loosey cried. ~"It'saplot to kill meI know it so I'm going to confront theking becausehe'sbehind it and he'sprobably going to executemebut that'sokay becauseI'd rather be..."
