BR1-8 The Little Red Hen


This story is a little ironical, but provocative.



The main character is a little red hen. She lived on a farm in a little white hen house. She had three friends, a glossy black cat, a big noisy duck, a fat brown rat. One morning, the little hen found some grains of wheat. When she found, she hit upon a good idea! She can eat bread with these grains! So, she asked to her friends. "Who will help me plan the wheat?" But three friends said only "Not I". The red hen asked many times. "Who will help me cut the shoots down?" "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill?" "Who will help me make the flour into bread?" She asked to help many times! However, her friends answered "Not I". The red hen got angry and said "Fine! I will do by myself!!" And at last she had baked the BREAD by ONLY herself. The bread was warm and soft. The red hen asked her three friends "Who will help me eat the bread?" At the moment she said so, three friends said "I'll eat the bread!" with smile. However, the red hen cried "Oh, no you won't! I'll eat it ALL BY MYSELF!!" And she did.



I think this story is pleasant. And I learnt we can't get anything without suffer hardships. It is thoughtless to want something with no cost. Her three friends could recognize the importance of cooperation. If my friends need my help, I will help them. And I want to share our joys and sorrow.
