One	
  morning	
  on	
  a	
  farm	
  as	
  the	
  sun	
  
had	
  just	
  risen,	
  a	
  li9le	
  red	
  hen	
  was	
  
walking.	
  	
  The	
  hen	
  stepped	
  on	
  
something	
  .	
  	
  She	
  looked	
  down	
  and	
  
saw	
  a	
  piece	
  of	
  wheat	
  .	
  	
  The	
  li9le	
  
red	
  hen	
  said,	
  “Who’s	
  going	
  to	
  help	
  
me	
  plant	
  this	
  grain	
  of	
  wheat	
  ?”	
  
“Not	
  me.”	
  meowed	
  the	
  cat.	
  
“No	
  way,	
  ho’	
  jose’,”	
  barked	
  the	
  
dog.	
  
“I	
  ain’t	
  going	
  to	
  do	
  it.”	
  	
  oinked	
  the	
  
pig.	
  
“Don’t	
  look	
  at	
  me	
  I’m	
  not	
  going	
  to	
  
do	
  it,”	
  gobbled	
  the	
  turkey.	
  
 	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  “ Then	
  I	
  will”	
  announced	
  	
  
the	
  li9le	
  red	
  hen.	
  	
  Off	
  she	
  went	
  
and	
  planted	
  the	
  wheat	
  .	
  	
  The	
  
next	
  morning	
  she	
  woke	
  up	
  and	
  
found	
  the	
  wheat	
  .	
  	
  It	
  had	
  
grown	
  one	
  foot	
  .	
  	
  In	
  about	
  two	
  
weeks	
  the	
  the	
  wheat	
  had	
  
grown	
  four	
  feet	
  tall	
  .	
  	
  
She	
  took	
  all	
  the	
  wheat	
  and	
  asked	
  
“Who’s	
  going	
  to	
  help	
  me	
  take	
  
this	
  to	
  the	
  mill.”	
  u9ered	
  the	
  hen.	
  	
  
“Sorry,”	
  said	
  the	
  dog,	
  “Its	
  my	
  
break.”	
  
“Busy”	
  called	
  the	
  cat.	
  
“Hey,	
  where’s	
  the	
  turkey?”	
  	
  
oinked	
  the	
  pig.	
  

“I’ll	
  do	
  it	
  then”	
  sighed	
  the	
  li9le	
  
red	
  hen.	
  	
  Then	
  she	
  went	
  to	
  the	
  
mill.	
  	
  
When	
  she	
  got	
  there	
  she	
  found	
  
turkey.	
  	
  When	
  turkey	
  saw	
  hen	
  he	
  
screamed	
  and	
  shot	
  out	
  the	
  door.	
  	
  
She	
  pretended	
  like	
  he	
  never	
  saw	
  
it.	
  	
  She	
  grinded	
  the	
  wheat	
  and	
  
cared	
  the	
  heavy	
  sack	
  of	
  flour	
  back	
  
to	
  farm.	
  	
  	
  
When	
  she	
  got	
  back	
  to	
  the	
  farm.	
  
She	
  was	
  about	
  to	
  ask	
  who’s	
  going	
  
to	
  get	
  the	
  ingredients	
  with	
  me	
  to	
  
make	
  bread.	
  

“I	
  will”	
  blurted	
  out	
  turkey.	
  	
  He	
  then	
  
dropped	
  the	
  ingredients	
  right	
  in	
  
front	
  of	
  her.	
  	
  Then	
  he	
  just	
  leM.	
  	
  She	
  
went	
  inside	
  and	
  made	
  dough	
  and	
  
put	
  it	
  in	
  the	
  oven	
  .	
  	
  When	
  it	
  was	
  
done	
  she	
  took	
  it	
  out.	
  	
  In	
  about	
  a	
  
minute	
  they	
  were	
  huddled	
  around	
  
bread	
  	
  	
  
And	
  sniffing	
  the	
  air.	
  	
  The	
  li9le	
  
red	
  hen	
  asked	
  “Who’s	
  going	
  to	
  
eat	
  this	
  bread	
  with	
  me?”	
  	
  They	
  
all	
  yelled.
