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

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?

[sistercomplex]

... This is one of those moral stories, isn't it?

[hoppy_ending]

Mm, that's right! I hate to break it to you, but almost all stories have morals, see?

[sistercomplex]

Yeah, but the good ones have cool stuff in the middle too. This one your favorite?

[hoppy_ending]

One of them~! There's too many good ones to choose!

[sistercomplex]

Ok, what's your second fave?

[hoppy_ending]

Mmm....my classmates told me a very sad story...

[sistercomplex]
