“The sky is falling! The sky is falling! And it hit me on the head!” - Chicken Little

Chicken Little is a children’s story warning against believing stories intended to stir up fear - And if the original story of Chicken Little, where the animals all end up mostly dead, seems a bit, well, harsh for a simple freakout over an acorn, or a rose petal, or any other small thing that just happens to fall on the head of a chicken—removing that harshness also removes the impact of the tale’s two main messages: first, not to overreact to small things, or blow them out of proportion,

and second, not to believe everything that you’re told.
