The Little Red Hen

[laughingduck]

Once, long ago, Little Red Hen lived on a farm. The hen's friends were a little black dog, a big orange cat, and a little yellow goose. One day, Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat. "I can make bread from this," thought the Little Red Hen.

The Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me plant the wheat?"

"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And she planted the wheat without any help at all.

The Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me cut the wheat?"

"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And she cut the wheat without any help at all.

The tired Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill and grind it into flour?"

"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the tired Little Red Hen. So she took the wheat to the mill and ground it into flour without any help at all.

The very, very tired Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me bake the bread?"

"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.

"Then I will do it myself," said the very, very tired Little Red Hen. And she baked the bread without any help at all.

The hot, fresh bread smelled very good. The Little Red Hen asked, "Now, who will help me eat this bread?"

"I will!" said the little black dog.
"I will!" said the big orange cat.
"I will!" said the little yellow goose.

"No, you won't! I will do it myself!" yelled the Little Red Hen. And she ate the bread without any help at all.

Was this todays bible school lesson?

I wish there were a smiley that was shooting itself in the head with a handgun. That would be my reply if possible. The smashing head into wall smiley is not sufficient here

Is this what you refer to?

"give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

While I'm not a Christian believer, ( or a Christian persecutor either) , there are always things we can learn when we open our eyes to simple truth.
Believing the fish parable doesn't make me a christian, it makes me a realist.


The little Hen was under no obligation to share her bread. Had I wanted some of that bread, I would have helped her make it and clean up the dishes....what would you have done?
Passed a law that "everybody" get a slice?

In Obama land the hen's bread would have been taxed at a confiscatory level so she would bother baking more than a minimum amount. When we finally get to the point where nobody has squat, then we won't have to worry about that nasty redistribution stuff.

"Why should I eat bread when I can have goose", said the little black dog. So he killed the little yellow goose and ate it.

the end

Actually, there would be a value added tax that would tax each level of production, so in the end it would be highly unlikely that there would be enough bread to feed even just the hen.
