One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the cornyard when—whack!—something hit her upon the head. “Goodness gracious me!” said Henny-penny; “the sky's a-going to fall; I must go and tell the king.”

<br>So she went along and she went along and she went along till she met Piggy-wiggy. “Where are you going, Henny-penny?” says Piggy-wiggy. “Oh! I'm going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” says Henny-penny. “May I come with you?” says Piggy-wiggy. “Certainly,” says Henny-penny. So Henny-penny and Piggy-wiggywent to tell-the king the sky was falling.

Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for her, and at last told him, one Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would turn him out to get his living as he could.
−
<br>They went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Ducky-daddles. “Where are you going to, Henny-penny and Piggy-wiggy?” says Ducky-daddles. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny and Piggy-wiggy. “May I come with you?” says Ducky-daddles. “Certainly,” said Henny-penny and Piggy-wiggy. So Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggyand Ducky-daddles went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

<br>So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Goosey-poosey, “Where are you going to, Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggyand Ducky-daddles?” said Goosey-poosey. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny and Piggy-wiggyand Ducky-daddles. “May I come with you,” said Goosey-poosey. <br>“Certainly,” said Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggyand Ducky-daddles. So Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.
+
This roused Jack, and he went out and hired himself for the next day to a neighboring farmer for a penny; but as he was coming home, never having had any money before, he lost it in passing over a brook. “You stupid boy,” said his mother, “you should have put it in your pocket.” “I'll do so another time,” replied Jack.
−
So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Turkey-lurkey. “Where are you going, Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?” says Turkey-lurkey. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey. “May I come with you? Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey?” said Turkey-lurkey. “Why, certainly, Turkey-lurkey,” said Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey. So Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey all went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

−
<br>So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey: “Where are you going, Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey?” And Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey said to Foxy-woxy: “We're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling.” “Oh! but this is not the way to the king, Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey,” says Foxy-woxy; “I know the proper way; shall I show it you?” “Why certainly, Foxy-woxy,” said Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. So Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey, and Foxy-woxy all went to tell the king the sky was a-falling. So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they came to a narrow and dark hole. Now this was the door of Foxy-woxy's cave. But Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey: “This is the short way to the king's palace you'll soon get there if you follow me. I will go first and you come after, Henny-penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.” “Why of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?” said Henny-Penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.

On Wednesday, Jack went out again and hired himself to a cow-keeper, who gave him a jar of milk for his day's work. Jack took the jar and put it into the large pocket of his jacket, spilling it all, long before he got home. “Dear me!” said the old woman; “you should have carried it on your head.” “I'll do so another time,” said Jack.

<br>So Foxy-woxy went into his cave, and he didn't go very far but turned around to wait for Henny-Penny, Piggy-wiggy, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey. So at last at first Turkey-lurkey went through the dark hole into the cave. He hadn't got far when “Hrumph,” Foxy-woxy grabbed Turkey-lurkey and threw him over his left shoulder. Then Goosey-poosey went in, and “Hrumph,” she was thrown beside Turkey-lurkey, both complaining. Then Ducky-daddles waddled down, and “Hrumph,” grabbed Foxy-woxy, and Ducky-daddle was thrown alongside Turkey-lurkey and Goosey-poosey. Then Piggy-wiggy strutted down into the cave and he hadn't gone far when “wisk!” went Foxy-woxy and Piggy-wiggy was thrown alongside of Turkey-lurkey, Goosey-poosey and Ducky-daddles, all complaining about their poor treatment. Where they stayed for days.

<br>But Foxy-woxy had made two grabs at Piggy-wiggy, and when the first grab only touched Piggy-wiggy, but didn't catch him, he called out to Henny-penny. So she turned tail and ran back home, so she never told the king the sky was a-falling.

So on Thursday, Jack hired himself again to a farmer, who agreed to give him a cream cheese for his services. In the evening Jack took the cheese, and went home with it on his head. By the time he got home the cheese was all spoilt, part of it being lost, and part matted with his hair. “You stupid lout,” said his mother, “you should have carried it very carefully in your hands.” “I'll do so another time,” replied Jack.

On Friday, Lazy Jack again went out, and hired himself to a baker, who would give him nothing for his work but a large tom-cat. Jack took the cat, and began carrying it very carefully in his hands, but in a short time, kitty scratched him so much that he was compelled to let it go. When he got home, his mother said to him, “You silly fellow, you should have tied it with a string, and dragged it along after you.” “I'll do so another time,” said Jack.
 +
 
 +
So on Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who rewarded him by the handsome present of a shoulder of mutton. Jack took the mutton, tied it to a string, and trailed it along after him in the dirt, so that by the time he had got home the meat was completely spoilt. His mother was this time quite out of patience with him, for the next day was Sunday, and she was obliged to make do with cabbage for her dinner. “You ninney-hammer,” said she to her son; “you should have carried it on your shoulder.” “I'll do so another time,” replied Jack.

On the next Monday, Lazy Jack went once more, and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey for his trouble. Jack found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it, and began walking slowly home with his prize. Now it happened that in the course of his journey there lived a rich man with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, but deaf and dumb. Now she had never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh. This young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing with the donkey on his shoulders, with the legs sticking up in the air, and the sight was so comical and strange that she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her father was overjoyed and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack's mother lived with them in great happiness.

LAZY JACK




Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for her, and at last told him, one Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would turn him out to get his living as he could.
