Little Red Hen

[Reverenddel]

Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm.. She was friends with a lazy dog , a sleepy cat , and a noisy yellow duck .
One day the little red hen found some seeds on the ground. The little red hen had an idea. She would plant the seeds .
The little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me plant the seeds ?"
"Not I," barked the lazy dog .
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat .
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck .
"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen planted the seeds all by herself.
When the seeds had grown, the little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me cut the wheat ?"
"Not I," barked the lazy dog .
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat .
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck .
"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen cut the wheat all by herself.
When all the wheat was cut, the little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour ?"
"Not I," barked the lazy dog .
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat .
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck .
"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen brought the wheat to the mill all by herself, ground the wheat into flour , and carried the heavy sack of flour back to the farm .
The tired little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me bake the bread ?"
"Not I," barked the lazy dog .
"Not I," purred the sleepy cat .
"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck .
"Then I will," said the little red hen. So the little red hen baked the bread all by herself.
When the bread was finished, the tired little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me eat the bread ?"
"I will," barked the lazy dog .
"I will," purred the sleepy cat .
"I will," quacked the noisy yellow duck .
"NO!" said the little red hen. "I WILL!" And the little red hen ate the bread all by herself.

>>>> This is how I perceive the human species today: Lazy Dogs, Sleep Cats, and Noisy Yellow Ducks. Not enough Little Red Hens.<<<<

When I learned that story, well over a half a century ago, the Little Red Hen used the bread to feed herself and her baby chicks.
Same moral however.

I thought the hen used the bread for bait to catch the grasshopper that fiddled away the summer and ran out of food. Chickens LOVE grasshoppers.

This is not how it works today. The little red hen says "NO! I WILL!" Then the lazy dog, the sleepy cat and the noisy yellow duck say "you didn't build that!"

Yeah, and the the FDA warns the Little Red Hen about the excess carbs and glutens in her diet and Obamacare raises her health insurance rates.
