《Henny-Penny》封面

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.”

有一天,亨尼潘妮在谷场里啄玉米粒,忽然——啪!——有个东西砸在她头上。“天哪,我的老天!”亨尼潘妮说,“天要塌下来了,我得去告诉国王。”

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

于是她走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到遇见了科基洛基。“你要去哪儿呀,亨尼潘妮?”科基洛基问。“哦!我要去告诉国王天要塌下来了,”亨尼潘妮说。“我能跟你一起去吗?”科基洛基问。“当然可以,”亨尼潘妮说。于是亨尼潘妮和科基洛基就一起去告诉国王天要塌下来了。

They went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Ducky-daddles. “Where are you going to, Henny-penny and Cocky-locky?” says Ducky-daddles. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky. “May I come with you?” says Ducky-daddles. “Certainly,” said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

他们走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到遇见了达奇达德尔斯。“你们要去哪儿呀,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基?”达奇达德尔斯问。“哦!我们要去告诉国王天要塌下来了,”亨尼潘妮和科基洛基说。“我能跟你们一起去吗?”达奇达德尔斯问。“当然可以,”亨尼潘妮和科基洛基说。于是亨尼潘妮、科基洛基和达奇达德尔斯就一起去告诉国王天要塌下来了。

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Goosey-poosey, “Where are you going to, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles?” said Goosey-poosey. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny and Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. “May I come with you,” said Goosey-poosey. “Certainly,” said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky and Ducky-daddles. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

他们走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到遇见了古西普西。“你们要去哪儿呀,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基和达奇达德尔斯?”古西普西问。“哦!我们要去告诉国王天要塌下来了,”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基和达奇达德尔斯说。“我能跟你们一起去吗?”古西普西问。“当然可以,”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基和达奇达德尔斯说。于是亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯和古西普西就一起去告诉国王天要塌下来了。

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Turkey-lurkey. “Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey?” says Turkey-lurkey. “Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey. “May I come with you? Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles and Goosey-poosey?” said Turkey-lurkey. “Why, certainly, Turkey-lurkey,” said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, and Goosey-poosey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey all went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

他们走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到遇见了特基勒基。“你们要去哪儿呀,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯和古西普西?”特基勒基问。“哦!我们要去告诉国王天要塌下来了,”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯和古西普西说。“我能跟你们一起去吗?亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯和古西普西?”特基勒基问。“那当然,特基勒基,”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯和古西普西说。于是亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基一起去告诉国王天要塌下来了。

So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-woxy, and Foxy-woxy said to Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey: “Where are you going, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey?” And Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey said to Foxy-woxy: “We're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling.”

他们走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到遇见了福克西沃克西,福克西沃克西对亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基说:“你们要去哪儿呀,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基?”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基对福克西沃克西说:“我们要去告诉国王天要塌下来了。”

“Oh! but this is not the way to the king, Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, 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, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey, and Foxy-woxy all went to tell the king the sky was a-falling.

“哦!可这不是去见国王的路啊,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基,”福克西沃克西说,“我知道正确的路,要我带你们去吗?”“那当然,福克西沃克西,”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基说。于是亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西、特基勒基和福克西沃克西一起去告诉国王天要塌下来了。

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, Cocky-locky, 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, Cocky-locky, Ducky daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.” “Why of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?” said Henny-Penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.

他们走啊走,走啊走,走啊走,一直走到一个又窄又黑的洞口。原来这就是福克西沃克西洞穴的门。福克西沃克西对亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基说:“这是通往国王宫殿的近路,跟着我,你们很快就能到了。我先走,你们跟在后面,亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基。”“那当然,一定,没问题,为什么不呢?”亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基说。

So Foxy-woxy went into his cave, and he didn't go very far but turned round to wait for Henny-Penny, Cocky-locky, 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 snapped off Turkey-lurkey's head and threw his body over his left shoulder.

于是福克西沃克西走进了洞穴,没走多远就转过身,等着亨尼潘妮、科基洛基、达奇达德尔斯、古西普西和特基勒基。最后,特基勒基第一个穿过黑洞走进了洞穴。他还没走多远,“咔嚓”一声,福克西沃克西咬断了特基勒基的脑袋,把他的身体甩到左肩上。

Then Goosey-poosey went in, and “Hrumph,” off went her head and Goosey-poosey was thrown beside Turkey-lurkey. Then Ducky-daddles waddled down, and “Hrumph,” snapped Foxy-woxy, and Ducky-daddles' head was off and Ducky-daddles was thrown alongside Turkey-lurkey and Goosey-poosey. Then Cocky-locky strutted down into the cave and he hadn't gone far when “Snap, Hrumph!” went Foxy-woxy and Cocky-locky was thrown alongside of Turkey-lurkey, Goosey-poosey and Ducky-daddles.

接着古西普西走了进去,“咔嚓”一声,她的脑袋也没了,古西普西被扔到了特基勒基旁边。然后达奇达德尔斯摇摇摆摆地走下去,“咔嚓”一声,福克西沃克西一口咬下,达奇达德尔斯的脑袋也没了,达奇达德尔斯被扔到了特基勒基和古西普西旁边。接着科基洛基昂首阔步地走进洞穴,还没走多远,“咔嚓,咔嚓!”福克西沃克西又咬了一口,科基洛基也被扔到了特基勒基、古西普西和达奇达德尔斯旁边。

But Foxy-woxy had made two bites at Cocky-locky, and when the first snap only hurt Cocky-locky, but didn't kill 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.

可福克西沃克西咬科基洛基咬了两口,第一口只咬伤了科基洛基,没能要他的命,科基洛基便大声呼喊亨尼潘妮。于是她转身就跑,一路跑回了家,所以她始终没有告诉国王天要塌下来了。
