Soon she met a Two-legged Cat going along hippity-hip, hippity-hip on her leg and crutch. The Cat said,
“Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?”
Little Half Chick said, “I am going to Madrid to see the Good King.”
“May I go too?” said the Two-legged Cat.
“Yes,” said Little Half Chick, “fall in behind.”
So the Cat fell in behind. Hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop went Little Half Chick. Hippity-hip, hippity-hip went the Two-legged Cat.
Soon they met a Three-legged Dog going along humpity-hump, humpity-hump. The Dog said:
“Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?”
Little Half Chick said “I am going to Madrid to see the Good King.”
