He gathers Henny-Penny, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Lucky, Drakey-Lakey, Goosey-Loosey, Gander-Lander, and Turkey-Lurkey who all run to find the King, to tell him that the sky is falling in. They do not come to a good end...The story was originally an oral tale, and is retold here by Judy Hamilton.It is thought the Brothers Grimm first wrote it down.
