"Gobble, gobble, gobble! I have not seen Boy Blue."

He then asked the cockerel if he had seen Boy Blue. And the cockerel
answered, "Cock-coo-doodle-doo! I haven't seen Boy Blue:
cock-coo-doodle-doo!"

Then an old hen was asked if she had seen Boy Blue. She said, "Cluck,
cluck, cluck! I haven't seen Boy Blue; but I will call my chicks, and
you can ask them. Cluck, cluck, cluck!" And all the chicks came running,
but only said, "Peep, peep, peep! We haven't seen Boy Blue. Peep, peep,
peep!"

Boy Blue's father then went to the men who were making hay, and said,
"Men, men, have you seen my Boy Blue?" But the men answered, "No, no: we
have not seen Boy Blue." But just then they happened to look under a
haycock; and there, all curled up, lay Boy Blue, and his dog Tray, fast
asleep.

His father shook him by the arm, saying, "Boy Blue, wake up, wake up!
The sheep are in the meadow, and the cows are in the corn." Boy Blue
sprang to his feet, seized his tin horn, and ran as fast as he could to
the cornfield, with his little dog running by his side.
