THE LITTLE RED HEN

Things to Do | Crafts 

 

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.
