Eines Tages pickte Henne-Penne im Hühnerhof nach Körnern, als es – klatsch! – etwas auf ihren Kopf schlug. „Du meine Güte!“, sagte Henne-Penne. „Der Himmel stürzt ein; ich muss zum König gehen und es ihm sagen.“

One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the cornyard when—whack!—something hit her upon the head. “Goodness gracious me!” said Henny-penny; “the sky's a-going to fall; I must go and tell the king.”

Also ging sie ihres Weges, und sie ging und ging, bis sie Gockel-Gock traf. „Wo gehst du hin, Henne-Penne?“, fragte Gockel-Gock. „Oh! Ich gehe zum König, um ihm zu sagen, dass der Himmel einstürzt“, sagte Henne-Penne. „Darf ich mitkommen?“, fragte Gockel-Gock.

So she went along and she went along and she went along till she met Cocky-locky. “Where are you going, Henny-penny?” says Cocky-locky. “Oh! I'm going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,” says Henny-penny. “May I come with you?” says Cocky-locky.

„Natürlich“, sagte Henne-Penne. Also gingen Henne-Penne und Gockel-Gock los, um dem König zu sagen, dass der Himmel einstürzt.

“Certainly,” says Henny-penny. So Henny-penny and Cocky-locky went to tell the king the sky was falling.

Reading it as a parallel text

A parallel text puts a story next to its translation, paragraph by paragraph. Read in the language you are working on and glance across only when a sentence stops you: the story keeps moving, and the words you look up stay in context. More in how to read with a parallel text.
