MOTHER HEN
One day Mother Hen gathered all the farm animals together at the big red barn in the middle of the farm and asked them, “Who will help me make some bread?”
Mother Hen said, “Who will help me plow a field to grow some wheat to make the bread from?”
“Not I, said the Cat.”
“Not I, said the Donkey.”
“Not I, said the Duck.”
“Then I will do it myself.”
When the field was ploughed, Mother Hen said, “Now who will help me plant the wheat?”
“Not I, said the Cat.”
“Not I, said the Donkey.”
“Not I, said the Duck.”
“Then I will do it myself.” So she ploughed to field to grow the wheat.
When the seeds had grown into tall wheat plants, Mother Hen asked the farm animals, “Who will help me harvest the wheat?”
“Not I, said the Cat.”
“Not I, said the Donkey.”
“Not I, said the Duck.”
“Then I will plant it myself” said Mother Hen and she did.
When the wheat was harvested, Mother Hen asked the farm animals, “Who will help me grind the wheat?’
“Not I, said the Cat.”
“Not I, said the Donkey.”
“Not I, said the Duck.”
“Then I will grind it myself” said Mother Hen and she did.
When the wheat was ground, Mother Hen asked the farm animals, ”Who will help me bake the bread?”
“Not I, said the Cat.”
“Not I, said the Donkey.”
“Not I, said the Duck.”
“Then I will bake it myself” said Mother Hen and she did.
When the bread was ready to eat, Mother Hen said “Who will help me eat the bread?”
“I will, said the Cat”.
“I will, said the Donkey”.
“I will, said the Duck.”
No, you will not. I ploughed the land, I planted the seeds, I ground the flour and baked the Bread. I will eat it myself and so she did.
