Chapter VIII

Just then Golden Locks sat up in bed.
She saw the three bears looking at her.
She jumped off the bed.
Then she ran out of the house.
She ran home as fast as she could.

THE FOX AND THE CROW.

One day a crow flew into a tree.
She had some cheese.
Just then a fox came along.
“I must have that cheese,” said the fox.
He looked up at the crow and said,
“How pretty you are!
Can you sing, pretty bird?”
The crow sang, “Caw! Caw! Caw!”
Down fell the cheese.
Then the fox ran off with it.

CHICKEN LITTLE.

One day Chicken Little was in the woods.
A nut fell on her head.
“Oh, oh! The sky is falling,” said Chicken Little,
“I must run and tell the king.”
So she ran, and she ran.
On the way she met Henny Penny.

“Where are you going?” said Henny Penny.
