(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!
