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."
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."
