The Red Hen!
Bedtime Stories
Moral stories for kids
Sam: Hey Susan. Where were you? Everybody has left. I was
waiting for you.
Susan: I am sorry Sam There was something I needed to take
care of at school.
Same: What happened?
Susan: Few bad students at the school were trying to fool my
friend Gemma. I found out that they’ve planned to trick her into doing all the
work and take the credit for it.
Sam: Oh! That’s so bad. What will Gemma do now?
Susan: Oh, well. Thankfully Gemma is a smart girl. She’s
like the little red hen.
Sam: What? Did you just call Gemma a hen?
Susan: Oh Sam! Haven’t you heard the story of the little red
hen?
Sam: No! But it sounds so interesting! Tell me Susan tell
me, please!
Susan: Okay! Once upon a time a little red hen lived on a
farm with a lazy dog, a sleepy cat and a noisy yellow duck.
The Hen: Hey guys! Look! I found some seeds Let’s go and
plant them! Who will help me?
The Dog: Not I.
The Cat: Not I.
The Duck: Not I.
So the little red hen went and planted the seeds by herself.
When the seeds had turned into plant and gradually wheat crop was ready to be
harvested, the hen asked her friends. The seeds have grown. Who will help me
harvest the crop?
The Dog: Not I.
The Cat: Not I.
The Duck: Not I.
So the little red hen went and harvested the crop by
herself. The wheat needed to be taken to the mill and ground into flour. The
wheat is heavy. The hen went back to their friends and asked again for the help,
“who will help me take it to the mill and grind it into flour?”
The Dog: Not I.
The Cat: Not I.
The Duck: Not I.
So the poor little hen helped herself again and somehow she dragged
the heavy wheat to the flourmill by herself. She alone grinded it into flour,
filled it into a sack and brought it back to the farm. Friends, I am very
tired. Who will help me bake the bread?
The Dog: Not I.
The Cat: Not I.
The Duck: Not I.
The poor, exhausted hen baked the delicious bread alone all
by herself and once she was done, she asked, yet again, “the bread smells so
great. Who will help me eat it?”
The Dog: I will!
The Cat: I will!
The Duck: I will!
The Hen: No way! I will not share it with any of you and
will enjoy all this tasty bread by myself!
Susan: So, the little red hen ate all the bread by herself
and enjoyed it completely. What a clever hen! Wasn’t she! That’s how you should
be. You shouldn’t be afraid of anyone and should always stand up for yourself. I
am sure, Gemma knows this story and will do the right thing. Trust me, she
will!
Moral of the story
You must not be afraid of anyone. Do
well and learn to stand for yourself and to help yourself. Self-help makes you
strong and doesn’t let you depend on others.
The End!
