ITP: Storytime

A little red hen once found a grain of wheat. "Who will plant this wheat?" she said.

"I won't," says the dog.

"I won't," says the cat.

"I won't," says the pig.

"I won't," says the turkey.

"Then I will," says the little red hen. "Cluck! cluck!"

So she planted the grain of wheat. Very soon the wheat began to grow and the green leaves came out of the ground

[hoppy_ending]

What's your favorite story?

[commander_bitch]

I've heard that one, before.

[hoppy_ending]

Wah, so you know it too! Ne ne, do you like it?

[commander_bitch]

It's ... not bad. It does what it's supposed to: teach a lesson.

[hoppy_ending]

That's true. Afterall, that is the point of stories.

[sistercomplex]

That they don't eat wheat?

[hoppy_ending]

No, that they don't want to help reap the wheat!

[sistercomplex]

Probably cuz they don't eat it.

[hoppy_ending]

No, because they're very lazy~! Because, see, they won't help the hen with any of the parts to MAKE the bread, see. But once its made? They alllllll come around and offer to help her eat it!

And do you know what the hen did then?

[bawwwtic]

I t-think I may have heard this before...

(( placeholder! ))

[hoppy_ending]

Well, it ~is~ a good one!

[bawwwtic]

Mm, i-it's rather old... a classic, s-some might call it.

[hoppy_ending]

Definitely! It's definitely a classic!

[jesusintraining]

Did they help her?

[hoppy_ending]

No, they did not! The poor hen had to reap the wheat all by herself, see. And then, when it was time to grind the wheat, she tried to asked the other animals for help again.

[jesusintraining]

W-wah, but they helped her grind the wheat, didn't they? After they saw how much hard work Hen-san had put into it, right?!

[hoppy_ending]

They said no, they would not help her grind the wheat.
