"Oh, I'm going to the Dovrefell, that the world mayn't come to an end," said the Hen.
"Who told you that, Henny-Penny?" asked the Cock.
"I sat in the oak and dreamt it last night," said the Hen.
"I'll go with you," said the Cock.
Well, they walked on a good bit, and then they met a Duck.
"Good day, Ducky-Lucky," said the Cock.
"Good day, Cocky-Locky," said the Duck; "whither away so early?"
"Oh, I'm going to the Dovrefell, that the world mayn't come to an end," said the Cock.
"Who told you that, Cocky-Locky?"
"Henny-Penny," said the Cock.
"Who told you that, Henny-Penny?" asked the Duck.
"I sat in the oak and dreamt it last night," said the Hen.
"I'll go with you," said the Duck.
So they went off together, and after a bit they met a Goose.
"Good day, Goosey-Poosey," said the Duck.
"Good day, Ducky-Lucky," said the Goose; "whither away so early?"
"I'm going to the Dovrefell, that the world mayn't come to an end," said the Duck.
"Who told you that, Ducky-Lucky?" asked the Goose.
"Cocky-Locky."
"Who told you that, Cocky-Locky?"
"Henny-Penny."
"How do you know that, Henny-Penny?" said the Goose.
