THE HEN AND HER SIX LITTLE CHICKS

Once, there lived a hen named Henny and her six little chicks.One day she found some grains of wheat and asked, Who will help me plant this wheat?

Not I, said the duck.Not I, said the bird.Not I, said the cat.Not I, said the cow.Then my six little chicks and I will, said Henny.

After some time, the plant grew healthily and had long stalks of wheat.The wheat ripened and was ready to be harvested.

Who will help me harvest the wheat grain? asked Henny.

Not I, said the duck.Not I, said the bird.Not I, said the cat.Not I, said the cow.So Henny and her six little chicks harvested the wheat grain.

After that, they took the grain to the miller to grind. They then brought home the fine white flour.

Who will help me bake a cake? asked Henny.

Not I, said the duck.Not I, said the bird.Not I, said the cat.Not I, said the cow. So Henny and her six little chicks baked the wheat grain.

When the cake was ready, Henny asked, Who will help me to eat this cake?

I will, said the duck. I will, said the bird.I will, said the cat.I will, said the cow.Oh no, you wont, said Henny.My six little chicks and I have done all the work. So we will eat the cake.
