    Welcome to our program, welcome to our show. This is
    the story of the Little Red Hen, it is a story you all know.

    Sit back and relax, please enjoy the time.


    Look, the Little Red Hen just found something fine!

    I just found a grain of wheat! We could plant it, grow


    the wheat, harvest it, and make it into bread! Who will
    help me plant it?
    How do you do that?

    You put your rake in, your put your rake out. You do the
    cokey pokey, and turn that dirt around. That’s what its all
    about.

    Not I, I have to sit in the warm sun.

    I can’t, I have to eat my cheese.

    Oh, no, not me. I have to bury my bone.

    No way! I have to swim in the pond.

    Very, well, I’ll do it myself.

    And she did, she planted that little grain of wheat and it
    grew.

    Then it was time to harvest the wheat.

    Look, the wheat has grown so tall! Who will help me


    harvest it?

    How do you do that?

    You take your scissors and cut and cut. You do the
    cokey pokey, and you’re all done. It is really fun!

    Not I, I have to sit in the warm sun.

    I can’t, I have to eat my cheese.

    Oh, no, not me. I have to bury my bone.

    No way! I have to swim in the pond.

    Very, well, I’ll do it myself.

    And she did, the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat by
    herself.

    No one helped her, and then it was time to take the


    wheat to the mill.

    Now that the wheat is harvested, it is time to take it to


    the mill.

    How far away is that?

    You pull your wagon for a mile, all the way to the mill.
    You do the cokey pokey, and wait an hour. Your
    muscles have to have lots of power.

    Not I, I have to sit in the warm sun.

    I can’t, I have to eat my cheese.

    Oh, no, not me. I have to bury my bone.

    No way! I have to swim in the pond.

    Very, well, I’ll do it myself.

    And so she did! The Little Red Hen pulled the wagon a
    mile to the mill. It was uphill both ways!

    Uphill both ways? You really are a story teller. Then it


    was time to make the bread.

    Now we have some lovely flour! Who will help me bake


    the bread?

    How do you do that?

    You mix the dough and let it rise, you mix the dough and
    let it rise. You do the cokey pokey until it is done. Eating
    it will be fun.

    Not I, I have to sit in the warm sun.

    I can’t, I have to eat my cheese.

    Oh, no, not me. I have to bury my bone.

    No way! I have to swim in the pond.

    Very, well, I’ll do it myself.

    And so she did! The Little Red Hen baked the bread all
    by herself.

    The lovely smell of baking bread made all the other


    animals hungry. They all went in to the kitchen.

    Doesn’t the baking bread smell good? Are you hungry?

    We’re starved!

    Well, none of you helped me grow the wheat, harvest


    the wheat, take the flour to the mill which was uphill
    both ways, or bake the bread.

    I was busy sitting in the sun!

    I was nibbling on my cheese!

    I had to bury my bone!

    I had to swim in the pond!

    Well, I did the rest of the work by myself, and now my


    chicks and I will eat it by ourselves!

    And they did! The end!
