Chicken Little is one of those traditional fairy tales in which some cute animals are eaten - so don't say we didn't warn you!

Several parents on our Facebook Group. have been lobbying us to publish this fast-paced and popular story. We have based our version on Henny-Penny by Joseph Jacobs. One of the great attractions of the tale is in the amusing names like Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey- Loosey and Turkey-lurkey, and of course, the baddy, Foxy-Woxy. As the fast-paced story goes on, the names build up into a long string.

But just once again - this story does involve animals being eaten. Comments are welcome but please dont' say we the ending came as a nasty surprise.

Chicken Little

Hello, This is Elizabeth, and I am dropping by a story that has been requested by several our of listeners including two parents, Clare and Teresa, both on our Facebook group.

It’s a fun, fast-paced tale, but I have to warn you that if you really mind stories where sweet little animals get eaten up by bad foxes, then this really isn’t the story for you.

ONE day, Chicken Little was picking up corn in the cornyard when – whack! Something hit her upon the head. “Goodness gracious me!” said Chicken Little, “the sky’s a-going to fall. I must go and tell the big boss.”

So she went along and she went along and she went along until she met Cocky-locky. “Where are you going, Chicken Little?” said Cocky-Locky. “Oh! I’m going to tell the big boss the sky’s a-falling,” says Chicken Little. “May I come with you?” says Cocky-Locky. “Certainly,” said Chicken Little. So Chicken Little and Cocky-Locky went to tell the big boss the sky was falling.

They went along, and they went along, and they went along, until they met Ducky-daddles. “Where are you going to, Chicken Little and Cocky-Locky?” said Ducky-Daddles. “Oh! we’re going to tell the big boss the sky’s a-falling,” said Chicken Little and Cocky-Locky. “May I come with you?” says Ducky-Daddles. “Certainly,” said Chicken Little and Cocky-Locky. So Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky and Ducky-Daddles went to tell the big boss the sky was a-falling.

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Goosey-Loosey, “Where are you going to, Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky and Ducky-Daddles?” Said Goosey-Loosey. “Oh! We’re going to tell the big boss the sky’s a-falling,” said Chicken Little and Cocky-Locky and Ducky-Daddles. “May I come with you?” Said Goosey-Loosey.

“Certainly,” said Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky and Ducky-Daddles. So Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles and Goosey-Loosey went to tell the big boss the sky was a-falling.

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, until they met Turkey-Lurkey. “Where are you going, Chicken Little, Cocky- Locky, Ducky-Daddles, and Goosey-Loosey?” says Turkey-Lurkey. “Oh! we’re going to tell the big boss the sky’s a-falling,” said Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles and Goosey-Loosey. “May I come with you; Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles and Goosey-Loosey?” Said Turkey-lurkey. “Why, certainly, Turkey-Lurkey,” said Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, and Goosey-Loosey. So Chicken Little, Cocky- Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey and Turkey-Lurkey all went to tell the big boss the sky was a-falling.

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, until they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said to Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey and Turkey-Lurkey, “Where are you going, Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey?” Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey said to Foxy-Woxy, “We’re going to tell the big boss the sky’s a-falling.”

“Oh! But this is not the way to the big boss, Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey and Turkey-Lurkey,” said Foxy-Woxy, “I know the proper way. Shall I show it to you?”

“Why certainly, Foxy-woxy,” said Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey. So Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, Turkey-Lurkey, and Foxy-Woxy all went to tell the big boss the sky was a-falling. So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, until they came to a narrow and dark hole. Now this was the door of Foxy-Woxy’s cave. But Foxy-woxy said to Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey, “This is the short way to the big boss’s place. You’ll soon get there if you follow me. I will go first and you come after, Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey.”

“Why of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?” Said Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey, and Turkey-Lurkey.

So Foxy-Woxy went into his cave, and he didn’t go very far but turned around to wait for Chicken Little, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Loosey and Turkey-Lurkey. First Turkey-Lurkey went through the dark hole into the cave. He hadn’t got far when “Hrumph,” Foxy-Woxy swallowed up Turkey-Lurkey.

Then Goosey-Loosey went in, and “Hrumph,” she was eaten too.

Then Ducky-Daddles waddled down, and “Hrumph,” snapped Foxy-Woxy, and Ducky-Daddles made the next course.

Then Cocky-Locky strutted down into the cave and he hadn’t gone far when “Snap, Hrumph!” went Foxy-Woxy.

But Foxy-Woxy had made two bites at Cocky-Locky, and when the first snap missed, he called out to Chicken Little. So she turned tail and ran back home. She never told the big boss the sky was a-falling

And that was the story of Chicken Little. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about sweet little animals getting eaten. Bertie says that Storynory listeners seem to fall into two sorts – those who are outraged that not all the animals get away and write in to complain – and those who like the traditional tales which are a little more true to life. This ones tells us not to coddle kids and to give them the real stuff straight from the storyteller’s mouth. You can always leave a comment and let us know where you stand on this great issue!

I thought you might like to know that we based our version on the English Tale by Joseph Jacobs where Chicken Little is actually called Henny-Penny, but as this story seems to be best known in America we used used the American name, Chicken Little. In some versions even Chicken Little doesn’t get away. In the Disney film of a few years ago, of course nobody gets eaten, so you can safely watch that one.

Does the story have a moral? Bertie says it’s hard to find, but perhaps it shows how mad mass panic only creates danger. Keep your head, so to speak, and you will keep your head.

For now, from me Elizabeth, Bye.

Chicken Little Story - Bedtimeshortstories

This is Chicken Little Story. Chicken Little is a little chicken who always had a solution for everything. One day, Chicken Little was playing in the yard under the maple tree when a squirrel rushed by with his arm full of acorns and one of these acorns fell and hit Chicken Little right WHACK! at the middle of the head. Then, the acorn bounced back into the hole in the tree leaving no evidence that it was ever there. Read more about Chicken Little!

Then, the acorn bounced back into the hole in the tree leaving no evidence that it was ever there in the first place. Chicken Little looked around; she looked up, she looked down, and she looked all around. But she couldn’t put her finger on what hit on her head. Chicken Little always had an answer for everything and so she thought for a while and came to a conclusion that the sky must be falling down. This made Chicken Little very afraid. And so she thought to inform the King. Also, read The Old Man And His Sons.

She packed up some of the things that she needed into the bandana and tied it to the end of the stick, threw it onto the shoulder, and hit the road. On her way, she met Cocky Locky who stopped her and asked what was the issue. She told him, “I was sitting under the tree when the piece of the sky fell and hit me right on the head!” Cocky Locky also got worried. He joined Chicken Little and they both headed to the King’s castle.

Soon, they met Ducky Daddles on their way. Ducky Daddles asked, “Why are you both in so much hurry?” They both told the incident that had happened with Chicken Little. They said, “You haven’t heard the sky is falling! A big piece fell on Chicken Little and almost squashed her.” Ducky Daddles was very scared and so he, too, joined them to tell the King the very important news. You may also like, The Bear And The Bees.

They only made it halfway when they met Goosey Loosey. Goosey Loosey asked, “Hey, what’s the matter? You look stressed!” Ducky Daddles explained the whole incident to the Goosey Loosey. Goosey Loosey thought that they would be needing some protection as the King’s castle was quite far, And so, the four friends traveled to the castle. They spread the news where they traveled. They traveled over the river, through the woods, passed grandmother’s house, and all the way to the King’s castle.

When they got there, the King was very surprised to see them. “What are all of you doing here?” the King asked. They told the King, “The world is ending!” They revised the complete incident in front of the King as proof. But, the King wanted to see the piece of the sky they were talking about. But Chicken Little didn’t have it. “How can you say that it was a piece of sky?” Also read, The Magic Porridge Pot Story.

“How can you say that it was a piece of sky? It could be anything!” concluded the King. Chicken Little replied, “There was nothing above me except for the tree, and there was nothing on the ground when I got hit and I always have answers for everything. So, the only thing above me was the sky.” The King was not ready to agree with them. And so, the King traveled back with Chicken Little to take a look at the tree under which she was sitting that day.

They waited around for a while when a squirrel came running by and yelled down to them, “Hey guys, did you see my acorn I dropped yesterday?” All of them started to investigate. And finally, when Chicken Little checked the hole inside the tree, she saw a missing acorn. The squirrel was happy. Chicken Little was happy.

Chicken Little learned that the sky was not falling and that sometimes it’s okay to not know all of the answers.

The duckling, which was brought up by the chicken, thought all the way that something was wrong with him: he ran worse and worse on land, lagging behind his chicken brothers. This went on until it started raining heavily...


pattern source

We have a wonderful black hen who is very fond of incubating her eggs. It is large and can warm many eggs and many chicks that will hatch from them. She does not care whose eggs she incubates, she is ready to be the mother of all chickens. So I put one duck egg under her, and she accepted it as her own. (I did this because our ducks are very frivolous. They lay their eggs anywhere, mostly on the ground, and then go somewhere).

The time has come for the chicks to peck through the shell and crawl out. The duckling also got out; it was immediately clear that it was not a chicken: it had red webbed feet and a bright yellow flat beak. Only the black hen didn't notice any difference. She began to lead both the duckling and her chickens around the yard.

The duckling also thought that he was the same as everyone else: he ran after his mother chicken, ate the food that she found. But when the whole company approached the water, the duckling strove to plop down there, and the chickens fled in horror. And then it became more and more difficult for the duckling to keep up with the chickens. The chickens are small and very nimble, and the duckling grew quickly, and could not catch up with them on its short legs. He tried very hard, wading after them, stumbling, but struggling to keep up. He was very sorry, but there was nothing we could do about it, because his real duck mother did not pay any attention to him, and he considered the black hen to be his mother, and her chickens to be his brothers and sisters.

The duckling got bigger and bigger. And increasingly clumsy on land. "Ah, if my mother and brothers climbed into the water, I would show them how fast and agile I am," he probably thought. But, as you know, chickens do not like to swim in the water at all, and the duckling could not understand this.

But the other day it started to rain heavily, not even rain, but a real downpour. Yes, even with hail. The mother hen rushed under the shed, the chickens followed her. And the duckling remained standing in the rain. And so he felt good! Water trickled down his shiny feathers. There were a lot of puddles around that you could swim in! He finally understood why he needed such webbed feet, which made it so difficult to run on the grass. And the duckling decided that he would no longer pretend that he was a chicken, that he was much more interested in swimming than running.

The puddles in the yard turned into a small pond, and the duckling stayed there to live. When the rain stopped, the chicks and their mother went out onto the wet grass. The duckling waved its wing amiably and dived under the water. Mother chicken, of course, clucked, began to call him. But the duckling, as best he could, explained to her that there was no need to worry about him, that he was very good in the water. And the mother hen, who loved him very much, realized that the duckling was different, completely different from the rest of the chickens - and allowed him to stay in the pond. She also waved her wings at him.

Scientists printed a chicken on a 3D printer and then fried it with a multiwave laser

Technologies

And this is not a new episode of The Big Bang Theory.

Researchers at Columbia University have created a device that allows you to print and fry chicken at the same time. This is the first such solution - before that, no one had printed and cooked food at the same time. The scientists published the results of the work in the journal npj Science of Food.

A team at Columbia University first developed a 3D food printer back in 2007. Then the researchers learned how to create food in layers with millimeter precision and wondered if it was possible to cook it with the same accuracy.

In the new device, the engineers used a 5-10 watt blue diode laser as the main heating source. But they experimented with lasers in the near- and mid-infrared ranges, as well as with a conventional toast oven.

For the experiment, the researchers bought a raw chicken breast from a nearby grocery store and ran it through a food processor to get an even consistency. They removed all the tendons and then froze the samples before packaging them into syringes for 3D printing.

The scientists' apparatus uses a high power diode laser, a set of mirror galvanometers—devices that detect voltage by deflecting light with mirrors, laser shielding, and a removable printed chicken stand.

At first, the laser was placed inside the installation, but as the experiment progressed, it was installed vertically right on the head of the printing mechanism. Thus, the scientists managed to create a solution that prints and cooks ingredients on the same machine.

As a result, the scientists were able to cook a chicken that retained twice as much moisture as the same dish in normal cooking and turned out half as much, retaining the same taste. At the same time, different types of lasers led to different results.

The blue diode proved to be ideal for cooking innards under the skin, and infrared lasers were better for roasting at surface level. At the same time, scientists tried to fry chicken in plastic packaging in this way - it turned out that this was possible, and even traces of the grill appeared on it.

Millimeter precision prints and cooks burgers from rare to well-done. Lasers also allow packaged foods to be baked, extending shelf life and reducing microbial contamination, and have good commercial potential for packaged prepared foods in grocery stores, the scientists said.
