Hen—"You promise me shoes year after year, year after year, and yet I get no shoes!"
Cock—"You shall have them, never fear! Henny penny!"
Hen—"I lay egg after egg, egg after egg, and yet I go about barefoot!"
Cock—Well, take your eggs, and be off to the tryst, and buy yourself shoes, and don’t go any longer barefoot!"
