mother told me the story of the little
red hen. She told it often to me at that
time but have never heard it since.
So / shall try to tell it to you now from
memory:
was scratching near the barn one day,
when she found grain of wheat. She
said, "Who will plant this wheat ?" The
rat said, 81 won't y the cat said, 81
WON'T the dog said, 81 won't y the
duck said, 81 won't ;" and the pig said,
81 WON'T The little red hen said, 81
win, then" So she planted the grain of
wheat. After the. wheat grew up and
was ripe, the little red hen said, who
will reap this wheat 2" The rat said, 81
won't ;" the cat said, 81 won't = the dog
said, 81 won't; > the duck said, q
won't y and the pig said, 50 won't. +"

So she reaped the wheat. Then she
said, ''Who viii take this wheat to mill
to be ground into -four ~ The rat said,
