(Foxy-woxy waiting in the cave to eat the others. Source)
- Henny-penny was out in the cornyard when suddenly something hit her on the head. She thought to herself that the sky must be falling so she needed to go tell the king
- On the way, she met Cocky-locky. When Cocky-locky asked where she was going, Henny-penny told her, and she joined Henny-penny to see the king
- On their way, they met Ducky-daddles. When Ducky-daddles asked where they were going, Henny-penny and Cocky-locky told her, and she joined them to see the king
- On their way, they met Goosey-poosey. When Goosey-poosey asked where they were going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, and Ducky-daddles told her, and she joined them to see the king
- On their way, they met Turkey-lurkey. When Turkey-lurkey asked where they were going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey told her, and she joined them to see the king
- On their way, they met Foxy-woxy. When Foxy-woxy asked where they were going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey told him.
- Then Foxy-woxy told them of a better way to see the king so they followed him
- They came upon a narrow and dark hole which, unknown to the others, was the door of Foxy-woxy's cave. Foxy-woxy told them he would go in first and told the others to follow after him
- Foxy-woxy went into his cave, and after not going very far, turned around to wait on the others
- First Turkey-lurkey went in, and soon after Foxy-woxy snapped his head off and threw his body behind him
- Second, Goosey-poosey went in, and soon after Foxy-woxy snapped his head off and threw his body behind him
- Third, Ducky-daddles went in, and soon after Foxy-woxy snapped his head off and threw his body behind him
- Fourth, Cocky-locky went in. When Foxy-woxy hurt Cocky-locky but didn't kill him, he called out and warned Henny-penny
- So Henny-penny ran home and never told the king the sky was falling
