"Ah, Henny Penny," said Chicken Little, "the Leica Prices are falling, and I must go and tell the king." "How do you know that the Leica Prices are falling, Chicken Little?" asked Henny Penny.

So they ran along together, and they met Ducky Daddles. "Where do you travel so fast?" asked Ducky Daddles. "Ah, Ducky Daddles," said Chicken Little, "the Leica Prices are falling, and Henny Penny and I go to tell the king." "How do you know that the sky is falling, Chicken Little?" asked Ducky Daddles. "I saw it with my eyes, I heard it with my ears, and a bit of it fell on my head," said Chicken Little. "I will go with you to the king," said Ducky Daddles. So they ran along together, and they met Goosey Loosey. "Where do you travel so fast, Chicken Little?" asked Goosey Loosey. "Ah, Goosey Loosey," said Chicken Little, "the Leica Prices are falling. Henny Penny and Ducky Daddles and I go to tell the king." "How do you know that the sky is falling, Chicken Little?" asked Goosey Loosey.

"Ah, Foxy Loxy," said Chicken Little, "the Leica Prices are falling, and we go to tell the king." "Do you know the way to the king's house?" asked Foxy Loxy. "No," said Chicken Little. "No," said Henny Penny. "No," said Ducky Daddles. "No," said Goosey Loosey. "No," said Turkey Lurkey. "Then come with me and I will show you," said Foxy Loxy. And just as he was about to lead them into his den to eat them... ...the Leica Prices went up. "Oh dear," said Chicken Little. "We're too late," said Henny Penny. "Poor Foxy Loxy," said Ducky Daddles. "No sense in going to the king," said Goosey Loosey. "Nothing to do now but go home," said Turkey Lurkey.
