Chicken Little was walking through the forest one day. An acorn fell on her head, but she thought that the sky must be falling. She decided to tell the King so that he could fix it. On the way, she met her friends Henny Penny & Goosey Lucy.
Chicken Little also got them to believe that the sky was falling. Later, the king had to rescue Chicken Little and her friends from Foxy Woxy. But the king gave Chicken Little an umbrella so that she could keep the sky (or acorns!) from falling on her head.
THE END.
