There once was a farm on the edge of Wheatsville . On that farm there lived a li7le red hen , a disgraceful duck , a lazy cat , and a very dumb dog. One morning on the farm Li7le Red Hen was on her way to the town she dropped her basket and as she bent down to pick it up she saw some seeds.

When the li7le red arrived home she announced, “Who will help me plant these seeds?” “Not I!” Groaned the duck. “Not I!” Moaned the cat. “Not I ! Snarled the dog.

“Then I will.” And she did . So she planted the seeds and she watered the li7le plant every day, and aPer one week she had tons and tons of wheat in her li7le garden . The li7le red hen was so happy she had found those seeds. APer awhile she was thinking of taking the wheat to the town to be made into bread. But then she had thought that no one would go to the town with her then she felt sad that no one at the barn was being nice to her.

So she cut the wheat ,and put it into a bag and exclaimed, “Who will help me take this bag of wheat to the market to have it made into bread ?”
“Not I!” Barked the dog. “Not I!” Meowed the cat. “I Will!” Quaked the duck.
“That is very nice duck lets go!” So they set off for the town and when they got there they gave the bread to the baker he made it into bread and ate it all.
