Then they met Foxy Loxy. “The sky is falling,” cried Henny Penny. “It hit me right on the beak! Let’s run and tell the King.” Now Foxy Loxy was hungry. And he DID stop to think.
Henny Penny had a nap under a tree. Just then a nut fell. Bong! It hit her right on the beak. Up jumped Henny Penny! She DIDN’T stop to think. “My! My! My!” she cried. “The sky is falling! I must run and tell the King.”
“Go this way,” he said. He led them right inside his den.
Foxy Loxy lit a fire under a huge pot.
She met Turkey Lurkey. “The sky is falling,” cried Henny Penny. “It hit me right on the beak! Let’s run and tell the King.” Turkey Lurkey DIDN’T stop to think. And off he ran with her.
At last, Henny Penny DID stop to think. “FLY! FLY! FLY!” she screamed. Now they were safe from Foxy Loxy. And the sky was not falling. So from that day on, they DID stop to think. And they were glad when they did.
