THE LITTLE RED HEN
The little Red Hen was in the farmyard with
her chickens, when she found a grain of wheat.
``Who will plant this wheat?'' she said.
``Not I,'' said the Goose.
``Not I,'' said the Duck.
``I will, then,'' said the little Red Hen, and
she planted the grain of wheat.
When the wheat was ripe she said, ``Who will
take this wheat to the mill?''
``Not I,'' said the Goose.
``Not I,'' said the Duck.
``I will, then,'' said the little Red Hen, and
she took the wheat to the mill.
When she brought the flour home she said,
``Who will make some bread with this flour?''
``Not I,'' said the Goose.
``Not I,'' said the Duck.
``I will, then,'' said the little Red Hen
When the bread was baked, she said, ``Who will
eat this bread?''
``I will,'' said the Goose
``I will,'' said the Duck
``No, you won't,'' said the little Red Hen.
``I shall eat it myself. Cluck! cluck!'' And she called her chickens to
help her.
