By:  Kate  Montgomery  

Page 2: Km the littleredhen

 Once  there  was  a  li'le  red  hen.    She  lived  with  her  friends  the  dog  Max  and  the  horse  named  Scout.    They  also  lived  with  a  sheep  named  Shawn  and  the  pig  named  Oinkers.    One  day  Li'le  Red  Hen  was  

walking  in  the  field,  when  she  stumbled  upon  some  wheat  seeds.      Li'le  Red  Hen  had  an  idea.  ”  I  could  plant  these  seeds  and  make  bread!”  she  clucked.  So  she  went  home  and  did  just  that.

 “Who  will  help  me  plant  this  wheat?”,  asked  Li'le  Red  Hen    “I’m  busy  with  a  bone.”  barked  

Max.    “I  am  pracOcing  my  galloping”,  

neighed  Scout.    “I  am  grazing”,  baaed  Shawn.    “EaOng”,  snorted  Oinkers  with  

a  mouthful  of  slop.    “If  you  want  to  be  lazy  then  I  

will  plant  the  seeds”,  mumbled  Li'le  Red  Hen.

 So  she  did.    She  planted  those  seeds  and  watered  them.    She  watered  the  seeds  for  a  month  unOl  harvest.    “Who  will  help  me  harvest  the  

wheat?”  Li'le  Red  Hen  asked.    “I  won’t”,  said  lazy  Max.    “I  won’t”,  said  sleepy  Scout    “I  won’t”,  said  yawning  Shawn.    “Honk-­‐shu”,  said  sleeping  Oinkers.    “Then  I  will!”  announced  Li'le  Red  

Hen.    So  she  got  to  work.  By  sundown  she  

had  a  beauOful  crop  in  bundles  ready  to  be  taken  to  the  mill.  

 The  next  morning  Li'le  Red  Hen  got  up  early.    She  asked  Max,  ”  Will  you  come  with  me  to  the  mill  to  grind  the

wheat.”    Max  explained  ,”  I  do  not  have  

Ome  for  this  silly  nonsense.    I  have  squirrels  to  chase.”    “  I  have  galloping  to  do,”  admi'ed  

Scout.        “  I  have  grazing  to  do  ,”  noted  

Shawn.    “  I  have  to  be  in  the  cherry  

orchard.    There  is  free  cherry  picking!”  oinked  Oinkers.    “Well  if  you  have  other  things  to  

do,”  said  Li'le  Red  Hen  hotly.

 So  she  brought  the  wheat  to  the  mill  to  and  got  it  ground  into  flour.    She  made  it  home  by  the  aUernoon.    “  Who  will  help  me  cook  some  bread?”    “  I  won’t,”  said  Max      “  I  won’t,”  said  Scout    “  I  won’t,”  said  Shawn  

And  the  only  sound  of  Oinkers  was  a  faint  oink  in  the  distance.        “Ok,  I  guess  I’ll  do  it  myself,”  

sighed  Li'le  Red  Hen.  

 Soon  the  kitchen  smelled  heavenly.    Max  smelled  the  bread  first  and  sat  by  the  window  smelling  the  delicious  bread.

Scout  smelled  the  bread  next  and  stood  by  the  window  with  Max.    Shawn  smelled  the  bread  and  came  to  the  window  with  the  friends.    Oinkers  smelled  the  bread  and  came  running  toward  the  window.  

 The  bread  was  ready.    Li'le  Red  Hen  brought  the  bread  out.  “  Who  will  help  me  eat  this  bread?”,  asked  Li'le  Red  Hen.    “  I  will!”,  shouted  Max    “  I  will!”,  shouted  Scout    “  I  will!”,  shouted  Shawn    “  I  will!”,  shouted  Oinkers.

“  Well,  too  bad!”,  snapped  Li'le  Red  Hen.    “  You  never  helped  me.    So,  too  bad.”  

 And  she  gobbled  that  bread  up.
