The Little Red Hen
Hen
Once upon a
time, there was
a little red
hen who
lived on a
farm . She
was friends
with a lazy
dog ,a
sleepy cat ,
and a noisy
yellow
duck .
One day the
little red
hen
seeds on
the ground. The
little red
hen had
an idea. She
would plant the
seeds
The little red
hen asked
her friends,
"Who will help
me plant the
seeds ?"
"Not I," barked
the lazy
dog .
"Not I," purred
the sleepy
cat .
"Not I,"
quacked the
noisy yellow
duck .
"Then I will,"
said the little
red hen
.So the little red
hen
planted the
seeds
all by herself.
When the
seeds
had grown, the
little red
hen
asked her
friends, "Who
will help me cut
the wheat
?"
"Not I," barked
the lazy
dog .
"Not I," purred
the sleepy
cat .
"Not I,"
quacked the
noisy yellow
duck .
"Then I will,"
said the little
red hen .
So the little red
hen cut
the wheat
all by herself.
When all the
wheat
was cut, the
little red
hen asked
her friends,
"Who will help
me take the
wheat to
the mill to
be ground into
flour ?"
"Not I," barked
the lazy
dog .
"Not I," purred
the sleepy
cat .
"Not I,"
quacked the
noisy yellow
duck .
"Then I will,"
said the little
red hen . So
the little red
hen
brought the
wheat to the
mill all by
herself, ground
the wheat
into flour ,
and carried the
heavy sack
of flour
back to the
farm .
The tired little
red hen
asked her
friends, "Who
will help me
bake the
bread ?"
"Not I," barked
the lazy
dog .
"Not I," purred
the sleepy
cat .
"Not I,"
quacked the
noisy yellow
duck .
"Then I will,"
said the little
red hen .
So the little red
hen
baked
the bread
all by herself.
When the
bread
was finished,
the tired little
red hen
asked her
friends, "Who
will help me
eat the
bread ?"
"I will," barked
the lazy
dog .
"I will," purred
the sleepy
cat .
"I will,"
quacked the
noisy yellow
duck .
"No!" said the
little red
hen . "I
will." And the
little red
hen
ate the
bread all
by herself.
