NARRATOR One morning Chicken Little woke up early, and decided to go for a walk. The sun

was shining. It was a beautiful day and as he was walking under the old oak tree, a

small acorn fell, plop, and landed right on her head.

CHICKEN LITTLE Hey, what was that?

What was that? Oh, no!

The sky is falling in!

CHORUS Chicken Little, run, run.

Chicken Little, run , run.

Run Chicken Little.

The sky is falling in.

CHICKEN LITTLE I must tell the King.

I must tell the King.

A piece of the sky fell on my head.

I must tell the King.

CHORUS You must tell the King.

You must tell the King.

The sky is falling in.

You must tell the King.

NARRATOR Chicken Little began to walk a little faster down the road toward the King’s castle.

On the way, he met his old friend Henny Penny.

HENNY PENNY Good morning, Chicken Little.

Where are you going?

What’s your hurry?

Chicken Little, What’s your hurry?

Can’t you say hello?

CHICKEN LITTLE I can’t stop now.

I’m going to see the King.

The sky is falling in.

I must tell the King.

HENNY PENNY What did you say?

1

Page 2: Chicken Little and Others

What did you say?

CHICKEN LITTLE The sky is falling in.

HENNY PENNY That’s what I thought you said.

CHORUS Run, chick , run

The sky is falling in.

Run, chick, run.

You must tell the King.

HENNY PENNY Tell me again. What fell?

CHICKEN LITTLE A piece of the sky.

HENNY PENNY When did it fall?

CHICKEN LITTLE Just a minute ago.

HENNY PENNY A minute ago? Oh, no!

We must tell the King.

CHORUS You must tell the King.

You must tell the King.

The sky is falling in.

You must tell the King.

NARRATOR So Chicken Little and Henny Penny hurried together down the road toward the

King’s castle. On the way, they met their old friend Cocky Locky.

COCKY LOCKY Hello, Chicken Little.

Hello, Henny Penny.

Where are you going?

What’s your hurry?

Slow down, Henny Penny.

What’s your hurry, Chicken Little?

CHORUS Slow down, slow down.

What’s your hurry, Chicken Little?

Slow down, slow down.

What’s your hurry, Henny Penny?

Slow down, slow down.

HENNY PENNY We can’t slow down.

We can’t slow down.

We must tell the King.

CHORUS Tell the King. Tell the King.

They must tell the King.

They can’t slow down.

They must tell the King.

COCKY LOCKY Tell the King what?

What’s the matter? What’s wrong?

What are you going to tell the King?

2

Page 3: Chicken Little and Others

CHORUS What’s the matter?

What’s wrong?

What’s the matter?

What’s wrong?

HENNY PENNY The sky is falling in.

The sky is falling in.

CHORUS Cocky Locky, Henny Penny, Chicken Little , run!

The sky is falling in.

The sky is falling in.

COCKY LOCKY Who said that?

Who said that?

Henny Penny, how do you know?

HENNY PENNY Chicken Little told me so.

COCKY LOCKY Chicken Little, how do you know?

CHICKEN LITTLE How do I know?

A piece of the sky fell on my head.

Just a minute ago.

COCKY LOCKY Oh, no. What’ll we do?

Oh, my. What’ll we do?

The sky is falling in.

We must tell the King.

NARRATOR And so Cocky Locky joined Chicken Little and Henny Penny. The three of them

hurried together down the road toward the King’s castle. On the way, they met

their old friend Ducky Wucky.

DOCKY WUCKY Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, HI!

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, HEY!

Can I come, too? Can I come, too?

CHORUS Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, HI!

Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, HEY!

Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, HO!

Can I come, too? Can I come, too?

COCKY LOCKY We’re going to see the King.

We have to see the King.

DUCKY WUCKY Why do you have to see the King?

COCKY LOCKY The sky is falling in!

DUCKY WUCKY The sky? Oh, my!

The sky is falling in?

COCKY LOCKY That’s right, that’s right.

Page 4: Chicken Little and Others

The sky is falling in.

DUCKY WUCKY Cocky Locky, how do you know?

COCKY LOCKY Henny Penny told me so.

DUCKY WUCKY Henny Penny, how do you know?

HENNY PENNY Chicken Little told me so.

DUCKY WUCKY Chicken Little, how do you know?

CHICKEN LITTLE How do I know?

A piece of the sky fell on my head.

Just a minute ago.

DUCKY WUCKY Oh, no! what’ll we do?

Oh, my. What’ll we do?

The sky is falling in.

We must tell the King.

NARRATOR And so Ducky Wucky joined Chicken Little and Henny Penny and Cocky Locky.

The four of them hurried together down the road toward the King’s castle. On the

way, they met foxy Woxy.

CHORUS Watch out for the fox.

He’ll eat you up.

Watch out for the fox. Watch out!

He’ll eat you up.

He’ll eat your up.

Watch out for the fox. Watch out!

NARRATOR Foxy Woxy saw Chicken Little and his friends hurrying down the road. He smiled

a foxy smile and said to himself:

FOXY WOXY Ah ha!

What’s this coming down the road?

It looks like a tasty Sunday dinner.

Mmmm, mmmm, I can’t wait.

Mmmm, mmmm, I can’t wait.

NARRATOR Then he turned to Chicken Little, and in his most polite voice said:

FOXY WOXY Good morning, my dear.

Where are you going?

Where are you going this morning?

CHICKEN LITTLE Oh, Mr. Fox, haven’t you heard?

The sky is falling in.

We must tell the King.

We must tell the King.

NARRATOR Now, Foxy Woxy was a clever fellow. He didn’t believe for a minute that the sky

was really falling in. He took a long look at the sky, and then turned to Chicken

Little and said:

4

Page 5: Chicken Little and Others

FOXY WOXY Hey, you’re right.

Here it comes!

The sky is falling in.

Follow me. I know the way.

I’ll take you to the King.

NARRATOR So Chicken Little and Henny Penny, Cocky Locky and Ducky Wucky all followed

Foxy Woxy, and no one ever saw them again. And nobody told the King.

CHORUS Blue, blue sky is falling down,

Falling down, falling down.

Blue, blue sky is falling down,

My dear smart King.

2. THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS by Jon ScieszkaNARRATOR 1 NARRATOR 2

NARRATOR 3 NARRATOR 4

NARRATOR 5 NARRATOR 6

PIG 2 PIG 3

WOLF

WOLF: "Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do. But I'll let

you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the

story. I'm the Wolf. Alexander T. Wolf. You can call me Al."

NARRATOR 1: No one knows just how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong.

NARRATOR 2: Maybe it's because wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies and sheep and pigs.

That's just the way they are. If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think people were Big and

Bad, too.

NARRATOR 1: But the whole Big Bad thing is all wrong.

NARRATOR 2: The real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar.

NARRATOR 3: Way back in Once Upon a Time, our friend, the wolf, was making a birthday cake for

his dear granny.

NARRATOR 4: He had a terrible sneezing cold.

NARRATOR 5: He had run out of sugar.

NARRATOR 6: So he walked down the street to ask his neighbor for a cup of sugar.

NARRATOR 1: Now this neighbor was a pig.

NARRATOR 2: And he wasn't too bright, either.

NARRATOR 3: He had built his whole house out of straw.

NARRATOR 4: Can you believe it? Who in his right mind would build a house of straw?

NARRATOR 5: So of course the minute the wolf knocked on the door, it fell right in and he didn't want

to just walk into someone else's house.

NARRATOR 6: So he called.

5

Page 6: Chicken Little and Others

WOLF: "Little Pig, ... Little Pig, are you in?"

NARRATOR 1: No answer.

NARRATOR 2: He was just about to go home without the cup of sugar for his dear old granny's

birthday cake.

NARRATOR 3: That's when his nose started to itch.

NARRATOR 4: He felt a sneeze coming on.

NARRATORS 1-2-3-4-5-6 (TOGETHER): Well, he huffed. And he snuffed.

NARRATOR 1: And he sneezed a great sneeze.

NARRATOR 2: And you know what? That whole darn straw house fell down. And right in the middle

of the pile of straw was the First Little Pig-dead as a doornail.

NARRATOR 3: He had been home the whole time.

NARRATOR 4: It seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there in the straw.

So the wolf ate it up.

NARRATOR 5: Think of it as a big cheeseburger just lying there.

NARRATOR 6: He was feeling a little better. But he still didn't have his cup of sugar.

NARRATOR 1: So he went to the next neighbor's house.

NARRATOR 2: This neighbor was the First Little Pig's brother. He was a little smarter, but not much.

He had built his house of sticks.

NARRATOR 3: He rang the bell on the stick house.

NARRATOR 4: Nobody answered.

NARRATOR 5: He called:

WOLF: "Mr. Pig, ... Mr. Pig, are you in?"

NARRATOR 6: He yelled back.

2ND PIG: "Go away wolf. You can't come in. I'm shaving the hairs on my chimney."

NARRATOR 1: He had grabbed the doorknob when he felt another sneeze coming on.

NARRATORS 1-2-3-4-5-6: He huffed. And he snuffed.

NARRATOR 2: And he tried to cover his mouth, but he sneezed a great sneeze.

NARRATOR 3: And you're not going to believe it, but this guy's house fell down just like his brother's.

NARRATOR 4: When the dust cleared, there was the second Little Pig -- dead as a doornail.

WOLF: "Wolf's honor!"

NARRATOR 5: Now you know food will spoil if you leave it out in the open.

NARRATOR 6: So the wolf did the only thing there was to do. He had dinner again.

NARRATOR 1: Think of it as a second helping.

NARRATOR 2: He was getting awfully full. But his cold was feeling a little better.

NARRATOR 3: And he still didn't have that cup of sugar for his dear old granny's birthday cake.

NARRATOR 4: So the wolf went to the next house. This guy was the First and Second Little Pigs'

brother.

NARRATOR 5: He must have been the brains of the family. He had built his house of bricks.

NARRATOR 6: The wolf knocked on the brick house. No answer.

WOLF: "Mr. Pig,. . . Mr. Pig, are you in?"

NARRATOR 1: And do you know what that rude little porker answered?

6

Page 7: Chicken Little and Others

3RD PIG: "Get out of here, Wolf. Don't bother me again."

NARRATOR 2: Talk about impolite!

NARRATOR 3: He probably had a whole sack of sugar.

NARRATOR 4: And he wouldn't give the wolf even one little cup for his dear, sweet old granny's

birthday cake.

NARRATOR 5: What a pig!

NARRATOR 6: The wolf was just about to go home and maybe make a nice birthday card instead of a

cake, when he felt his cold coming on.

NARRATORS 1-2-3-4-5-6: He huffed. And he snuffed. And he sneezed once again.

NARRATOR 1: Then the Third Little Pig yelled.

3RD PIG: "And your old granny can sit on a pin!"

NARRATOR 2: The wolf was usually a pretty calm fellow. But when he heard somebody talk about his

dear, sweet old granny like that, he went a little crazy.

NARRATOR 3: When the cops drove up, of course he was trying to break down this Pig's door. And

the whole time the wolf was huffing and puffing and sneezing and making a real scene.

NARRATOR 4: The rest, as they say, is history.

NARRATOR 5: The news reporters found out about the two pigs he had for dinner.

NARRATOR 6: They figured a sick guy going to borrow a cup of sugar didn't sound very exciting.

NARRATOR 3: So they jazzed up the story with all that "huff and puff" and "blow your house down"

stuff.

NARRATOR 4: And they made him the Big Bad Wolf.

NARRATOR 5: That's it.

NARRATOR 6: The real story.

WOLF: "I WAS FRAMED!"

NARRATORS 1-2-3-4-5-6: But maybe you could loan him a cup of sugar.

3. MONKEY KING FIGHTS LITTLE RED

NARRATOR We are telling the story called "Monkey King Fights Little Red".  It comes from the Chinese book "Journey to the West".  Master Tang is going to India to get some Buddhist books.    MASTER TANG I am Master Tang, a Buddhist Monk.  Ah Mi To Fo.   NARRATOR With Master Tang are two helpers.   MONKEY KING I am the Monkey King, the best fighter in the world.  I have special powers.   PIGGY I am called Piggy.  I am Master Tang's helper.  Mmmmmm.... I am always hungry.  

7

Page 8: Chicken Little and Others

NARRATOR In this story, Master Tang and his helpers meet a dangerous monster.    LITTLE RED I am Little Red.  I can look like a sweet little boy.  But I am terrible.   NARRATOR And at the end of the story, the Goddess Kuan Yin comes to visit them.   KUAN YIN "I am Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.  I make peace and teach the people.      NARRATOR On their journey to India, Master Tang and his helpers had an easy time, and they were feeling very relaxed...until they got to a big forest.  The Monkey King was walking in front.  He got a strange feeling.   MONKEY KING Something is wrong up ahead.  We must be careful.   LITTLE RED Help me!  Help me!   MASTER TANG Did you hear that, Piggy?  It sounds like someone calling for help.   LITTLE RED Help me!  Help me!   PIGGY Yes, I hear it too.  Let's go and give help.   MONKEY KING No!  It must be a monster.  I tell you, something smells wrong.  Don't worry about the noise.  We can just walk through the forest.    NARRATOR They walked a little more, until they came to a little boy in a tree.  The little boy's skin was bright red.   LITTLE RED Help me, please!  Robbers took me and tied me in this tree last night.  Please help me!   MONKEY KING Master, no.  It is a trick.  He could not stay in that tree all night.  He could not shout so loud.   NARRATOR The monster knew that Monkey King was smart.  Monkey King knew Little Red was lying.  But the monster still cried out like a little boy.   LITTLE RED Master, please save me.  My family can give you a big dinner.   PIGGY A big dinner?  Are you sure?  I'm so hungry.  

8

Page 9: Chicken Little and Others

LITTLE RED A big, BIG dinner.  Please save me!   PIGGY All right, be quiet.  We will save you.  I want a big dinner, yes, yes...   NARRATOR The Monkey King got Little Red out of the tree.   LITTLE RED Now I will show you my home.  Please carry me, monkey.  I'm so weak.   NARRATOR The Monkey King carried Little Red through the forest.  Suddenly, Little Red changed into the wind, and got away.  After he left, Master Tang was nowhere to be found.   The Monkey King was angry and flew after the monster.  He followed him to Red Cloud Cave, and rang the great bell.   LITTLE RED Who's there?   MONKEY KING I'm your father's friend.  Let me in.   LITTLE RED Don't lie to me, monkey.  You will taste my sword!   MONKEY KING You proud little kid, you had better be careful.   NARRATOR The Monkey King attacked, but Little Red blew smoke from his nose and spit fire from his mouth.  But the Monkey King called to his friend the Dragon King of the East, who sent rain to put out the fire.   MONKEY KING Take that, monster.  Our rain will stop you!   LITTLE RED Ha!  Your rain is like food to my fire!  See!  It only grows hotter.  

NARRATOR The monster was correct.  The rain made Little Red's fire burn even more.  The Monkey King and Piggy knew they could not beat Little Red by themselves.  They called to Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, to help them.   MONKEY KING Please come to Red Cloud Cave, Goddess Kuan Yin.  Please save Master Tang.   KUAN YIN I knew you would call me. See, I am already with you.   NARRATOR Kuan Yin was standing in the air above them. Little Red saw her, but he did not know that she was the powerful Goddess of Mercy.  In fact, he did not care about her at all.  

9

Page 10: Chicken Little and Others

LITTLE RED Ha!  You are the monkey's new helper, are you?  I'll give you my fire!   NARRATOR The monster blew fire and smoke at Kuan Yin, but the goddess was calm.  She dipped a willow stick into her bottle, and shook drops of her magic water onto the fire.  The fire became smaller and smaller.  Little Red wanted to attack again, but no fire came out of his mouth.  No smoke came out of his nose.  Then, Little Red bowed to the goddess.  She smiled at Little Red.   KUAN YIN I knew you would attack me.  And I know that you are now ready to stop your evil ways and become my student.   LITTLE RED Yes, yes.  You are very powerful, and you are good.  I understand.  And I will follow you and be your student.   KUAN YIN You will be a good student, Little Red.  I like you already.   NARRATOR It was time for Master Tang and his helpers to move on.   MASTER TANG Thank you Kuan Yin.  Ah Mi To Fo.   PIGGY Good-bye!  Good-bye!   MONKEY KING Thank you very much, Goddess.   KUAN YIN It is a small thing.  Now go, and continue your Journey to the West.   Your work is very important.  I will be watching and listening.  Farewell.

Fairy: Hello, dear. I am the fairy.

Wizard: Hi, there. This is the wizard.

Narrator 1: Well, everybody, I’m narrator 1.

Narrator 2: And I’m narrator 2.

Narrator1: There once lived a wizard, a fairy, and a magic chicken. Each thought, “I am the greatest in

the world.”

Wizard: I am the best.

Fairy: I am very powerful.

Chicken: I am the strongest.

Narrator 2: And each one was very jealous of the other two.

N 1 & N 2: Oh, what a wonderful wand.

Chicken: My wand has a pickle on it.

who was the greatest in the world.

Wizard: I can kiss a pig and turn it into a bicycle.

N 1, N 2, & wizard: Bicycle, bicycle. Ride on a bicycle. Let us make a big big circle.

Fairy: That’s nothing, I can kiss a bicycle and turn it into a bowl of soup.

N 1, N 2, & fairy: Soup, soup. Yummy, yummy soup. Can I have a bowl of soup?

14

Page 15: Chicken Little and Others

Chicken: I can do better than that, I can kiss a bowl of soup and turn it into a singing frog.

N 1, N 2, & chicken: Frog, frog. Ribbit ribbit frog. We all like a singing frog.

Narrator 2: Each one always tried to outdo the others.

N2: For the very first time the magicians agreed. They shouted to each other,

Wizard, fairy, and chicken: “Run, run, run, as fast as you can. Run, run, run, as fast as you can.”

Wizard: I will make a cloud to hide behind.

All: Oh, no. The monster is still there.

Fairy: I will make thunder to scare it.

All: Oh, no. The monster is behind you.

Chicken: I will make lightning. That will make it go away.

All: Oh, no. The monster is next to you.

Help, help. Nothing worked. What can we do?

N1, N2, and wizard: we’d better…

15

Page 16: Chicken Little and Others

N1, N2, wizard and fairy: …try something…

N1, N2, wizard, fairy and chicken:...together!

Wizard, fairy and chicken: One, two, three, go.

Narrator 1: The cloud and the thunder and the lightning came together.

Narrator 2: Suddenly it rained.

Narrator 1: It rained so hard and the monster got so wet that it shrank and shrank and shrank until they

were only very little monster and not scary at all. Then it quickly ran away.

Wizard, fairy and chicken: We did it. We did it.

Wizard: I must say, though, my cloud made the rain.

Fairy: Well, it was because of my thunder.

Chicken: But not without my lightning.

Narrator1: There once lived a wizard, a fairy, and a magic chicken.

Narrator2: They argued a lot, but deep down they were very good friends.

All: We’re the greatest in the world, in the world, in the world! We’re the greatest in the world!

7. ELMER AND THE WIND By David Mckee

It was a very, very windy day.

Elmer, the patchwork elephant, was sheltering in a cave with his elephant friends, some birds and

18

Page 19: Chicken Little and Others

Cousin Wilbur, who was playing tricks with his voice.

The elephant laughed when Wilbur made his voice come from a hole at the back of the cave.

“It’s not a good day for flying,” said a bird.

“It’s a good day to be a heavy elephant,” chuckled Elmer.

“An elephant can’t be blown away.”

“I bet even you are afraid to go out in this wind, Elmer,” said a bird.

“Afraid?” said Elmer.

“Watch this then, come on, Wilbur.”

“Come on, don’t be silly!”

“Don’t go out!” called the elephants.

But Elmer and Wilbur had already gone out into the wind.

Once they were out of sight of the others, Elmer led the way into another cave.

“You’re up to something, Elmer,” said Wilbur.

“Yes,” laughed Elmer.

“Make your voice as if we’re still out there walking. Sound like me sometimes.”

“I get it,” said Wilbur.

His voice came from the distance, sounding like Elmer,

”It’s hard to move in this wind.”

Then like himself, “Careful, Elmer, hold on!”

The elephants heard the voices and started to worry.

Wilbur called, “Hold on to something, Elmer. Look out!”

“HELP~” came Elmer’s voice,

“HELP! I’m flying~”

Wilbur called, “ELMER! COME BACK! ELMER! OH, HELP! HELP!”

“Elmer’s being blown away. We must help,” said an elephant.

“If you go out you’ll be blown away, too,” said a bird.

“Form a chain, trunks holding tails,” said another elephant.

They crept out of the cave, each elephant holding the tail of the elephant in front.

“Look at them,” said Elmer. “They do look funny.”

The elephants all started to speak at once. Because they were holding on their trunks, their voices

sounded very strange:

“We’ve been fooled!”

“It’s an Elmer and Wilbur trick.”

“The rotters….”

Then they backed back into the cave. They looked funnier than ever.

When they were all safely back in the cave, a bird said, “That was very silly, Elmer.”

“But really, Bird,” said Elmer, “an elephant can’t be blown away. I’ll walk out there, and prove it to

you!”

“It’s just another trick,” said an elephant, as Elmer walked away.

They watched Elmer disappeared behind the trees.

Then they heard Elmer’s voice calling,

19

Page 20: Chicken Little and Others

“Help! I can’t keep on the ground!”

The elephants laughed,

“he he…”

”Very funny, Elmer”

“ha ha..””HELP! I’M FLYING!” the voice came again.

The elephants laughed louder than ever.

“he he…haha…”

“wahaha…hoo…”

“Look!” said a bird. “It’s Elmer”

The elephant stared:

there was Elmer ABOVE the trees.

They started to call,

“Come back! Elmer!”

“Oh, my dear!”

“Somebody help him!”

“It’s my ears,” thought Elmer. “They’re acting as wings.”

Wilbur and the others seemed very small as he flew away.

“This is quite fun,” thought Elmer after a while.

He could see the other animals sheltering from the wind.

They stared to see an elephant fly by.

At last the wind dropped and Elmer landed.

“Oh dear,” he thought. “It’s going to be a long walk hone, It serves me right for being so silly.”

Finally, the wind stopped.

The birds flew off to guide Elmer home.

When they were back, the elephants rushed to hear Elmer’s new adventure.

“You’re wrong, Elmer,” said the bird.

“An elephant can be blown away.”

“You were wrong, too, Bird” laughed Elmer.

“It was a lovely day for flying!”

NEW GULLIVER’S ADVENTURE~ written for 6th graders by Serena Yang at Yi-Lan Elementary School, 2007

Hello, everyone. Today we are going to show you a very famous story. It is about a sailor whose name

was Gulliver. One day, when he was sailing on the sea, there came a terrible storm. The big wind and

heavy rain pushed him to the shore and he fell asleep. That was when he came to the Teeny-Tiny World

and met Tony and Amy.

~ Gulliver falls asleep.

~ Amy and Tony are talking in the house.

Amy: How’s the weather today, Tony?

Tony: Oh, it’s rainy and windy. What do you want to do?

Amy: Well… I don’t know. What do you think?

Tony: Let’s have some cake and play inside.

Amy: All right.

~ The sun is out.

Tony: Look! It’s sunny now. So, what do you want to do, Amy?

Amy: I want to go swimming. How about you?

Tony: OK. Let’s go to the beach nearby.

Amy: Hurray.

~Tony & Amy carry two buckets with them.

Amy: Wow, what’s that? Have you ever seen it before?

Tony: My god! A giant!

~Tony & Amy move forward.

Amy & Tony: Wake up, Giant!

G: Mmm… Where am I? Wow, you are so small.

G: Am I?

34

ARE YOU MY MOTHER?by P.D. Eastman

N: A mother sat on her eggs.

The eggs jumped.

M: “Oh, oh! My babies will be here soon!

They will want to eat.

I must get something for my baby birds to eat!

I will be back!”

N: So away she went.

N: The eggs jumped.

They jumped, and jumped, and jumped.

Out came the baby birds!

BB: “Where is our mother?”

N: They looked for her.

They looked up.

They did not see her.

They looked down.

They did not see her.

BB: “Let’s go and look for her.”

N: So away they went.

Down, out of the tree they went.

Down, down, down!

It was a long way down.

The baby birds could not fly.

They could not fly, but they could walk.

BB: “Now we will go and find our mother.”

N: They did not know what their mother looked like.

They went right by her.

They did not see her.

N: They came to a kitten.

They asked the kitten

BB: “Are you our mother?”

Cat: “Meow, I am not a bird.

I am a cat.

N: The kitten was not their mother.

So they went on.

N: Then they came to a hen.

They asked the hen.

BB: “Are you our mother?”

Hen: “I am not your mother.

I am a hen.

N: The kitten was not their mother.

The hen was not their mother.

So the baby birds went on.

BB: “We have to find our mother.

But where? Where is she?

Where could she be?”

N: Then they came to a dog.

They asked the dog…

BB: “Are you our mother?”

Dog: “I am not your mother.

I am a dog.”

N: The kitten was not their mother.

The hen was not their mother.

The dog was not their mother.

So the baby birds went on.

N: Now they came to a cow.

They asked the cow.

BB: “Are you our mother?”

Cow: “How could I be your mother?

37

Page 38: Chicken Little and Others

I am a cow.

N: The kitten and the hen were not their mother.

The dog and the cow were not their mother.

N: Did they have a mother?

BB: “We did have a mother.

We know we did.

We have to find her.

We will. We will!”

N: Now the baby birds did not walk.

They ran!

N: Then they saw a car.

Could that old thing be our mother?

No, it could not.

N: The baby birds did not stop.

They ran on and on.

Now they looked way, way down.

They saw a boat.

BB: “There she is!”

N: They called to the boat

BB: “Boat, are you my mother?”

N: But the boat did not stop.

The boat went on.

N: They looked way, way up.

They saw a big plane.

They called out.

BB: “Here we are, Mother.”

N: But the plane did not stop.

The plane went on.

N: Just then, the baby birds saw a big thing.

This must be our mother!

BB: “There she is!

There is our mother!”

N: They ran right up to it.

They spoke to the big thing.

BB: “Mother, Mother! Here we are, Mother!”

38

Page 39: Chicken Little and Others

N: But the big thing just said…

Snort: “Snort.”

BB: “Oh you are not our mother.

You are a Snort.

We have to get out of here.”

N: But the baby birds could not get away.

The Snort went up.

It went way, way up.

And up, up, up went the baby birds.

But now, where was the Snort going?

BB: “Oh, oh, oh!

What is this Snort going to do to us?

Get us out of here!”

N: Just then, the Snort came to a stop.

BB: “Where are we?

We want to go home!

We want our mother!”

N: Then something happened.

The Snort put those baby birds right back into the nest.

The baby birds were home!

N: Just then the mother bird came back to the nest.

She spoke to her babies.

M: “Do you know who I am?”

BB: “Yes, we know who you are.

You are not a kitten.

You are not a hen.

You are not a dog.

You are not a cow.

You are not a boat, or a plane, or a Snort!

You are a bird, and you are our mother.”
