HENNY PENNY. We should go to tell the king about this!
COCKY LOCKY. It’s our duty. The duty is above all! Follow me! I know the way!
WORM. They are fools. What is Foxy going to do? I’ll try to help them if I’m able to do anything.
SCENE III
SETTING. At the poultry.
Turkey Lurky waves his tail. He walks up and down to show how gracious he is! Ducky Lucky and Drackey Lackey watch the show and clap their hands.
GOOSE LOOSE (running in). Have you known the news? Such an awful story about Chicken Liken! He got into an accident and was seriously injured. And that’s not all.
WORM. Hello, guys! The busy day, isn’t it?
TURKEY LURKEY. Our show is over and guests are welcome to have dinner.
WORM. What do you have for dinner?
TURKEY LURKEY. It’s you. This worm is rather big and fat, so we can divide it into pieces.
WORM. I’m against. Since this morning I have had a terrible stomachache.
DUCKY LUCKY. You must have eaten too much grass that grows around the lake. It is sad. But we are ready to risk.
Chicken Liken, Henny Penny and Cocky Locky appear and Worm crawls away.
CHICKEN LIKEN. The sky has fallen down and hit my head.
HENNY PENNY. We are going to tell the king about it.
COCKY LOCKY. It’s our duty. The duty is above all! Follow me, everybody! I know the way!
DRACKEY LACKEY. It’s not the right road. I’m the only to lead you because my uncle lived at the royal court.
GOOSE LOOSE. Was he a courtesan?
DUCKY LUCKY. For a short time. Then he got onto a dish.
DRACKEY LACKEY. Come on, come on! Be quick!
SCENE IY
SETTING. At Foxy’s cave.
Foxy walks up and down, he looks at his watch. He is anxious.
FOXY LOXY. The cock hasn’t screamed jet and the ducks haven’t come out. What’s wrong?
WORM. Just an acorn has fallen down and hit Chicken Liken. They are travelling right here, towards your cave.
FOXY LOXY. Good news! How many of them?
WORM. Chicken Liken, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Drackey Lackey, Goosy Loosy and Turkey Lurkey. That’s all.
FOXY LOXY. My dinner will be great, but I don’t have enough appetite to eat them all.
WORM. Would you like to have a medicine for appetite? This grass is growing around the lake. Just what you want.
FOXY LOXY. Thank you very much. It’s kind of you to be my doctor.
Chicken Liken and his campaigners appear.
CHICKEN LIKEN. The sky has fallen down and hit my head.
HENNY PENNY. We are going to tell the king about it.
COCKY LOCKY. It’s our duty. The duty is above all!
FOXY LOXY. You’re welcome! Wait a moment and I’ll tell the king about your arrival.
He returns in a minute and takes Chicken Liken and others.
