The little red hen lived next to the roadby the farmer’
s house. Where
she livedwasn’t very fancy, but she loved it. Sheshared her home with
her five baby chicks and her friends, the dog, the cat,and the duck.
The
little
red
hen
worked
very
hard.
She
kept
the
house
and
the
yard
neat
andclean. There always seemed to be plentyof work to do in order to keep
everything looking good.
Everyone liked having a clean house andgood food on the table. When it
cam timeto do the chores, though, the others always seemed to have
something else todo. As soon as the hen would send herbaby chicks out to
play, the older animals always seemed to disappear,too. The little red
hen did all the workherself. Her days were filled withmaking beds,
cleaning, gardening, and cooking.
One day, the little red hen was sweepingher yard. When she looked down
on theground, she found some kernels of wheat. She put the kernels into
her
pocket
for
safe
keeping.
Then
she
went
to
look
for
the
dog,
cat,
andduck.
She found them by the pond. She showed them the kernels and asked,
“Whowill help me plant these?”

Her
three
friends
looked
at
eachother.
Then
they
looked
at
the littlered
hen. “Not us,” they said. “Right nowwe need to take a nap.”

“I’ll plant them myself,” she toldthem. The little red hen returned
to thegarden and began
digging. Soon her
babychicks came to see what she
was
doing.
The
little
red
hen
and
her
five
baby
chicks
pretended
they
were
buryingtreasure.
The
game
made
the
work
goquickly.
Soon
they
had
planted
all thekernels.
