'''Chicken Little''', also known as '''Henny Penny, Chicken Kluk,''' or '''Chicken Licken''' is a superstitious, typically female chicken, who was brought into a panic when an object such as a leaf or acorn falls on her head, believing it to be a piece of the sky that has fell - she then communicated this to everyone in her town, often including a king, and creates mass hysteria. Following this, a hungry male fox, typically named Foxy Loxy, takes advantage by offering the townsfolk a room in his cave, where he then proceeds to kill or eat them.
