Henny Penny Traditional Geocache

A wonderful children's story (African folktale) about a chicken who believes the world is coming to an end. All this because an acorn falls on his head and he thinks the sky is falling.

I like the three possible morals to the story...

In the "happy ending" version, the moral is not to be a "chicken", but to have courage. In other versions the moral is usually interpreted to mean "do not believe everything you are told". In the latter case, it could well be a cautionary political tale: The chicken jumps to a conclusion and whips the populace into mass hysteria, which the unscrupulous fox uses to manipulate them for his own benefit, sometimes as supper.
