Chicken Little was in a gentleman’s garden, where she had no right to be, when a rose leaf fell on her tail. Away she ran in great fright until she met Hen Pen. “O Hen Pen!” she cried, “the sky is falling.”
“How do you know that?” asked Hen Pen.
“Oh! I saw it with my eyes, and I heard it with my ears, and a part of it fell on my tail.”
“Let us run,” said Hen Pen.
So they ran to Duck Luck.
“O Duck Luck!” cried Hen Pen, “the sky is falling.”
“Pray, how do you know that?” asked Duck Luck.
“Chicken Little told me.”
“How do you know that, Chicken Little?”
“Oh!” answered Chicken Little, “I saw it with my eyes, I heard it with my ears, and a part of it fell on my tail.”
“Let us run,” said Duck Luck.
So they ran until they came to Goose Loose.
“O Goose Loose!” cried Duck Luck, “the sky is falling.”
“How do you know that, Duck Luck?”
“Hen Pen told me.”
“How do you know that, Hen Pen?”
“Chicken Little told me.”
“How do you know that, Chicken Little?”
“Oh! I saw it with my eyes, and I heard it with my ears, and a part of it fell on my tail.”
“Let us run,” said Goose Loose.
So they ran until they met Turkey Lurkey.
“O Turkey Lurkey!” cried Goose Loose, “the sky is falling.”
“How do you know that, Goose Loose?”
“Duck Luck told me.”
“How do you know that, Duck Luck?”
“Hen Pen told me.”
“How do you know that, Hen Pen?”
“Chicken Little told me.”
“How do you know that, Chicken Little?”
“Oh! I saw it with my eyes, I heard it with my ears, and a part of it fell on my tail.”
“Let us run to tell the Queen,” said Turkey Lurkey.
So they ran with all their might, until they met Foxy Loxy.
“O Foxy Loxy!” cried Turkey Lurkey, “the sky is falling.”
“How do you know that?” asked Foxy Loxy.
“Goose Loose told me.”
“How do you know that, Goose Loose?”
“Duck Luck told me.”
“How do you know that, Duck Luck?”
“Hen Pen told me.”
“How do you know that, Hen Pen?”
“Chicken Little told me.”
“How do you know that, Chicken Little?”
“Oh! I saw it with my eyes, I heard it with my ears, and a part of it fell on my tail.”
“Come with me,” said Foxy Loxy. “I will lead you to the Queen.”
So Chicken Little, Hen Pen, Duck Luck, Goose Loose, and Turkey Lurkey followed Foxy Loxy, as they had been told to do.
But he led them into his den, and they never came out again.
Study the pictures in the story of Chicken Little.

Look at the feet of the duck, hen, goose, and turkey, and see the different kinds of feet.
Which have feet alike? Why are not all alike?
