"Good-day, pancake," said the cock.

"The same to you, Cocky Locky," said the pancake.

"Pancake, dear, don't roll so fast, but bide a bit and let me eat you
up."

"No, no; I have run away from the mother, and the father, seven hungry
children, Manny Panny, and Henny Penny. I'll run away from you too,
Cocky Locky," said the pancake, and it rolled and rolled as fast as it
could. Bye and bye it met a duck.

"Good-day, pancake," said the duck.

"The same to you, Ducky Lucky."

"Pancake, dear, don't roll away so fast; bide a bit and let me eat you
up."

"No, no; I have run away from the mother, and the father, and seven
hungry children, Manny Panny, Henny Penny, and Cocky Locky. I'll run
away from you, too, Ducky Lucky," said the pancake, and with that it
took to rolling and rolling faster than ever; and when it had rolled a
long, long while, it met a goose.

"Good-day, pancake," said the goose.

"The same to you, Goosey Poosey."
