“Good-day, Hen Glen,” said the pancake.
“Dear, good pancake, don’t roll so fast, wait a little and I will eat you up!” said the hen.
“Mother Gray and grandpa I’ve left behind, and the seven squallers, too, you’ll find, and Man Tan, so I think I can leave you as well, Hen Glen!” said the pancake, and rolled along the road like a wheel. Then it met a rooster.
“Good-day, pancake,” said the rooster.
“Good-day, Rooster Booster,” said the pancake.
“Dear, good pancake, don’t roll so fast. Wait a little and I will eat you up!” said the rooster.
“Mother Gray and grandpa I’ve left behind, and the seven squallers, too, you’ll find, and Man Tan and Hen Glen, and so I think I can leave you as well, Rooster Booster,” said the pancake, and rolled and rolled as fast as ever it could. And after it had rolled a long time it met a duck.
“Good-day, pancake,” said the duck.
“Good-day, Duck Tuck,” said the pancake.
“Dear, good pancake, don’t roll so fast. Wait a little and I will eat you up!” said the duck.
