Once upon a time an acorn fell on Chicken Licken’s head. Being legally qualified and believing this to be evidence that the sky was falling, Chicken Licken rushes off to warn the King[1]. On its journey, Chicken Licken meets other dumb animals whom Chicken Licken persuades to join it in the quest to warn the King. Soon they all run into a fox eats them all.

They never make it to the King, who remains blissfully unaware of the impending collapse of the sky, which doesn’t happen.
