FOX LOX.
Once upon a time hungry Fox Lox was prowling about under a great tree on the hillside, when a chestnut burr fell thump upon his head. "Ah!" said cunning Fox Lox, "by this I will get a fine dinner." Just then along came Chicker Ricker.
"Oh, run down hill with me where you will be quite safe, Chicker
Ricker," cried Fox Lox, "for the sky is surely tumbling down!"
"Who told you, Fox Lox?"
"Oh, I heard it and I felt it and it came thump upon my crown!"
"Then I will run down hill with you," cried Chicker Ricker.
So they ran and they ran and they ran. Soon they met Hen Ren.
"The sky is tumbling down, Hen Ren!" cried Chicker Ricker.
"Who told you, Chicker Ricker?"
"Oh, Fox Lox!"
