[In this tale the notes of the Cock and Hen must be imitated.]
_Hen_—“You promise me shoes year after year, year after year, and yet I
get no shoes!”
_Cock_—“You shall have them, never fear Henny penny!”
_Hen_—“I lay egg after egg, egg after egg, and yet I go about barefoot!”
_Cock_—“Well, take your eggs, and be off to the tryst, and buy yourself
shoes, and don’t go any longer barefoot!”
