" cock ! " cried she , " run as fast as you can and fetch me some water , or i shall choke ! " so the cock ran as fast as he could to the brook , and said , " brook , give me some water , the hen is up yonder choking with a big nut stuck in her throat . " but the brook answered , " first run to the bride and ask her for some red silk . "
to fetch some water .
