100 Word Story: REVISION One day on a farm a chicken, named Chicken Little, was out eating some corn his owner threw on the ground for him. While eating peacefully, he heard a loud thump on the ground. Chicken Little, as innocent as can be, instantly assumed the sky was falling! At once he began running through the farm yelling, "The sky is falling!" Soon enough, the pigs, the cattle, the ducks, the horses, and even the barn mice were running with him!

Flickr Revision Note:  I used a little bit of artful repetition when naming all of the different kinds of farm animals. Along with deleting some redundant words/phrases in order to make my story a bit more concise and easier to read. Bibliography: The Foolish, Timid Rabbit by Ellen C. Babbitt
