One day a Donkey told Little Half Chick about the Good King and his Animal Farm. Little Half Chick at once started hoppity-hop for Mother Hen and said, "Mother Hen, I am going to Madrid to see the Good King." "All right," said Mother Hen, "good luck to you." So Little Half Chick started off, hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop along the road to Madrid to see the Good King. Soon she met a Two-legged Cat going along hippity-hip, hippity-hip on her leg and crutch. The Cat said, "Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?" Little Half Chick said, "I am going to Madrid to see the Good King." "May I go too?" said the Two-legged Cat. "Yes," said Little Half Chick, "fall in behind." So the Cat fell in behind. Hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop went Little Half Chick. Hippity-hip, hippity-hip went the Two-legged Cat. Soon they met a Three-legged Dog going along humpity-hump, humpity-hump. The Dog said: "Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?" Little Half Chick said "I am going to Madrid to see the Good King." "May I go too?" said the Three-legged Dog. "Yes," said Little Half Chick, "fall in behind." [Illustration: "THEY BOTH LAUGHED AS ALL THESE FUNNY ANIMALS CAME UP."] So the Dog fell in behind. Hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop went Little Half Chick. Hippity-hip, hippity-hip went the Two-legged Cat. Humpity-hump, humpity-hump went the Three-legged Dog. Soon they met a One-legged Crow going along jumpity-jump, jumpity-jump. The Crow said: "Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?" Little Half Chick said: "I am going to Madrid to see the Good King." "May I go too?" said the One-legged Crow. "Yes," said Little Half Chick, "fall in behind." So the Crow fell in behind. Hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop went Little Half Chick. Hippity-hip, hippity-hip went the Two-legged Cat. Humpity-hump, humpity-hump went the Three-legged Dog. Jumpity-jump, jumpity-jump went the One-legged Crow. Soon they met a Snake with no legs at all. He had caught his tail in his teeth and was rolling along loopity-loop, loopity-loop. The Snake said: "Hello, Little Half Chick, where are you going so fast?" "I am going to Madrid to see the Good King," said Little Half Chick. "May I go, too?" said the Snake. "Yes," said Little Half Chick, "fall in behind." So the Snake fell in behind. Hoppity-hop, hoppity-hop went Little Half Chick. Hippity-hip, hippity-hip went the Two-legged Cat. Humpity-hump, humpity-hump went the Three-legged Dog. Jumpity-jump, jumpity-jump went the One-legged Crow. Loopity-loop, loopity-loop went the Snake with no legs at all. Soon they came to Madrid and saw the Good King. With the King was his little daughter Margaret. They both laughed as all these funny animals came up. The King said to Little Margaret: "Do you want to see us all go out to the Animal Farm?" "Yes," said Little Margaret, "I will lead the way."
