The story begins with a simple, accidental event: a small peppercorn (or seed) falls onto a hen’s head. Overwhelmed by fear and lacking reflection, the hen immediately concludes that the world is ending. She begins to run, spreading the "news" to every animal she encounters—the rooster, the duck, the goose, and eventually even a man. The panic escalates into a frantic, fleeing crowd, with each new member accepting the rumor as absolute truth without ever investigating its source. Themes and Literary Value
