English Original

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 barefoot any longer!"


中文翻译

母鸡: “你年复一年地答应给我鞋子,年复一年地答应,可我还是没得到鞋子!”

公鸡: “你会有的,别怕!小母鸡!”
