The Little Red Hen
-
Once upon a time there was a little red hen.
-
One day the little red hen decided to grow some wheat.
-
First, she went to the other farmyard animals to ask for help.
-
"Who will help me to plant my wheat?"
-
asked the little red hen.
-
"Oh I'm not feeling very well,"
-
said the pig. But he didn't look sick.
-
"I'm very busy,"
-
said the duck,
-
but he wasn't really.
-
Then I shall plant the wheat myself,
-
said the little red hen,
-
and so she did.
-
Each day the wheat grew a little bit bigger and soon the wheat was fully grown
-
"Now I must harvest the wheat,"
-
said the little red hen.
-
The little red hen returned to the farmyard and asked the other animals
-
"Who will help me take my wheat to the mill?"
-
"Can't you see I'm playing in the mud?" asked the pig.
-
"Can't you see I'm having a swim?"
-
asked the duck.
-
The little red hen sighed,
-
and she carried all of the wheat to the mill on her own.
-
It was very tiring work.
-
The miller ground the wheat into flour.
-
The miller's wife saw how tired the little red hen was and she baked the flour into bread.
-
The little red hen thanked the miller and his wife by sharing her bread with them.
-
Once again, the little red again returned to the farmyard.
-
"Who will help me eat my bread?"
-
asked the little red hen.
-
The duck and the pig were very excited.
-
"I will!"
-
said the duck.
-
"I will!"
-
said the pig."
-
"NO! You will not,"
-
said the little red hen,
-
and she ate the bread herself.
