Henny Penny

Henny Penny, also known as "Chicken Little," is a traditional folk tale about a chicken who believes the sky is falling after an acorn lands on her head. She quickly convinces others, causing a panic that leads to misguided actions, such as trusting the fox in some versions. The story illustrates how fear and hysteria can spread rapidly, sometimes resulting in unnecessary or harmful consequences. It’s often used as a cautionary tale about the importance of critical thinking and not jumping to conclusions based on fear or misinformation.
