By: Patrick O’Dell
Once a li)le red hen found a grain of wheat. “Oh what joy!” she exclaimed . Then she went to her friends and ques>oned “Who will help me plant the wheat?” “I Wont” Said the dog.” “I already do enough for the farmer.” “I wont” the Cat yawned. “I hate the dirt!”
“ I wont” snorted the pig. “Wait, will there be mud?” The hen shrugged her shoulders and was pre)y sure they would not play in the mud. “Then, no” sighed the pig.
“Well I’ll do it alone” the hen said sadly. Then she tro)ed off singing a li)le tune. Once the hen was finished she asked her friends, “Who will help me reap the wheat?”
“I wont” said the dog. “I cant” said the cat. “I’m just to >red to work” “You’re not >red.” “You’re just a fat tabby” the pig and dog taunted. “Quit your barking” the cat snarled. “By the way, we cant help either.” I’ve got um.. uh…. Some food yes! Some food to take care of. The dog couldn’t answer he was gone in an instant chasing a ball.
“Then I’ll do it alone” the hen said as she sadly walked to the garden.
When the hen was finished se went to her friends and demanded “Who will help me thresh the wheat?” Wait, you all can’t because you have some ridiculous deed you need to do!” Her friends were shocked at her words ,but they were glad she didn’t bother them.
When the hen finished she went to her friends. “Who will help...” “Must have go)en >red of me asking.” The hen did what she had to do. She went straight to the mill. The hen got there and read a sign that said, Out to lunch. “The nerve of some people!”
The hen finished and came to the kitchen and started baking. ASer she had prepared the bread she took a nap. When a few hours were up something starter to smell good. The hen
Peered into the kitchen and there were all her friends staring into the toasty oven. The hen chuckled and tried not to look at them. She pulled out the bread and her friends all begged for a piece.The hen laughed and said “I’ll give you bread when pigs fly”.Then the hen ate it all.
