The Little Red Hen (1)

Once upon a time there was a little red hen who lived on a firm.

One morning, the little red hen found some grains of wheat.
She took them to her friends in the farmyard.

" Who will help me to plant this wheat ? " the little red hen asked her friends.

" Not I, " said the cat.

" Not I, " said the rat.

" Not I, " said the pig.

" Then I shall plant te wheat myelf, " said the little red hen.

And that's just what she did.
She planted the grains in a neat row in the sunnist part of the field.

The little red hen looked after the wheat carefully.
She watered it and watched it grow.

At last the wheat was tall and strong and golden.
The little red hen knew it was ready to be cut.

" Who will help me to cut the wheat ? " the little red hen asked her friends.

" Not I, " said the cat.

" Not I, " said the rat.

" Not I, " said the pig.

" Then I shall cut the wheat myelf, " said the little red hen.

And that's just what she did.
With her little scythe, she carefully cut down each stalk of golden wheat.
