Chicken Licken

Chicken Licken
a) A childrens fable about a hen who, in the classical version, believes the sky is falling after an acorn hits her head, journeys to inform the King and is finally eaten by Foxy Loxy. Also known by other names including The Sky is Falling.

Whereas roosters like to tell of the emperor’s new clothes, owls have a cautionary tale about Chicken Licken, who, with her hysterically apocolyptic reading of a fallen acorn, led the whole barnyard into the clutches of Foxy Loxy.

b) The main character in this story, a hysterical hen, sometimes alternatively named Chicken Little under a different title.

Foxy Loxy, for instance, accumulated negative karma when he tricked Chicken Licken. He might suffer in this life by contacting the avian flu!
