Making Connections

Last week Britney checked out a book titled "English Fairy Tales" written in 1962. She came to a story called "Henny-penny". All the character's names in the story are the same as in Disney's movie "Chicken Little" released in 2005. In the book, Henny-penny gets knocked in the head by a falling acorn and thinks the sky is falling. (Just like Chicken Little does in the movie) The other animals join her on her quest to tell the king...until they're eaten by Foxy-woxy. Henny-penny escapes, but forgets to tell the king afterward.

Britney says the morale is the same...Don't think the sky is falling just 'cause you get knocked in the head by falling acorns!
