I thought this was a good article too, and it brought to mind the childrens' rhyme about 'Chicken Licken' and his nervous pals, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Drakey Lakey, etc..... who all thought the sky was falling down, and all ended up being eaten by the wily Foxy Loxy.. (??.. was that his name??). I used to read that 'Ladybird' series book to my kids when they were young... scary kind of mum, heh? .....ha!ha!!
I wonder if it, too, originated from the folk memory of this event?
'Chicken Licken' does have a sort of Germanic/Bavarian ring to it!
