Litl Red Hen livd in a
barnyard. She spent aulmoest all of
her tiem wauking about th barnyard
in
her
picketty-pecketty
fashon,
scraching
everywhaer
for
wurms.
he deerly luvd fat, delicious wurms
and felt thae wer absolootly nesesaery
to th helth of her children. As
ofen as
she
found a
wurm
she
wuud
call
“Chuk-chuk-chuk!” to her chickies.
hen thae wer gatherd about
her, she wuud distribute chois
morsels of her tid-bit. A busy
litl body wuz she!
A cat uezhualy napt laezily in th barn dor, not eeven bothering herself to scaer th rat hoo ran heer and thaer as
he pleezd.
And
as for
th pig
hoo livd
in th
sti—he
did
not caer whut
happened so long as he cuud eat and gro fat.
ne dae th Litl Red Hen found a
Seed. It wuz a Wheet Seed, but th
Litl Red Hen wuz so accustomed to bugs
and wurms that she supoezd this to be sum
nue and perhaps verry delicious kiend of meet.
She bit it jently and found that it rezembld
a wurm in no wae whot-so-ever as to taest
aultho because it wuz long and
slender, a Litl Red Hen miet eezily
be foold by its apeeranss.
arrying it about, she maed
meny inqierys as to whut it miet
be. She found it wuz a Wheet
Seed and that, if planted,
it wuud gro up
and when riep it cuud
be maed into flour and
then into bred.
When she discuverd
that, she knew it aut
to be planted. She wuz
so busy hunting food for
herself and her family
that, nacheraly, she
thaut she aut not
to taek tiem to plant it.
o she thaut of th Pig—upon hoom
tiem must hang hevily and of th
Cat hoo had nuthing to do, and of
th graet fat Rat with his iedl ours, and she
called loudly:
“Hoo
wil
plant
th
Seed?”
But th Pig sed, “Not I,”
and th Cat sed, “Not I,”
and th Rat sed, “Not I.”
“Wel, then,” sed th Litl Red Hen, “I wil.”
And she did.
hen she went on with her daily
duties thru th long sumer
daes, scraching for wurms and
feeding her chiks, whiel
th Pig groo fat,
and th Cat groo fat,
and th Rat groo fat,
and th Wheet
groo taul and
redy for
harvest.
o wun dae th Litl Red Hen chanst
to noetis how larj th Wheet wuz
and that th graen wuz riep, so she
ran about calling briskly: “Hoo wil cut th
Wheet?”
Th Pig sed, “Not I,”
th Cat sed, “Not I,”
and th Rat sed, “Not I.”
“Wel,
then,”
sed th
Litl
Red Hen,
“I wil.”
And she did.
he got th sickle from amung th
farmer's tools in th barn and proceeded
to cut off all of th big plant
of Wheet.
On th ground lae th niesly cut Wheet, redy to be gatherd and thresht, but th nueest and yellowest and dounyest of Mrs.
Hen's chiks set up a “peep-peep-peeping” in thaer moest vigorus fashon, proclaiming to th wurld at larj, but moest particularly to thaer muther, that she wuz neglekting them.
oor Litl Red Hen! She felt qiet
bewildered and hardly knew whaer to
turn.
Her atenshon wuz sorly divided between her duty to her children and her duty to th Wheet, for which she felt responsibl.
So, again, in a verry hoepful toen, she called out, “Hoo wil thresh th Wheet?”
But th Pig, with a grunt, sed, “Not I,” and th Cat, with a meeow, sed, “Not I,” and th Rat, with a sqeek, sed, “Not I.”
So th Litl Red Hen, luuking, it must be admited, rather discurejd, sed, “Wel, I wil, then.”
And she did.
Of corss, she had to feed her baebys furst, tho, and when she had goten them all to sleep for thaer afternoon nap, she
went out and thresht th Wheet. Then she called out: “Hoo wil carry th Wheet to th mil to be ground?”
Turning thaer baks with snipy glee, that Pig sed, “Not I,”
and
that
Cat
sed,
“Not I,”
and
that
Rat
sed,
“Not I.”
o th guud Litl Red Hen cuud
do nuthing but sae, “I wil then.”
And she did.
Carrying th sak of Wheet, she trujd off to th distant mil. Thaer she orderd th Wheet ground into buetiful whiet flour. When th miler brought her th
flour she
waukt
sloely
bak all
th wae
to her oen
barnyard
in her oen
picketty-pecketty
fashon.
he eeven manejd, in spiet of her loed,
to cach a niess joosy wurm now and
then and had wun left for th baebys
when she reached them. Thoes cuning
litl fluf-bauls wer so glad to see thaer
muther. For th furst tiem, thae reealy
appreciated her.
After this reealy strenueus dae Mrs. Hen retierd to her slumbers urlyer than uezhual—indeed, befor th culors caem into th ski to herrald th setting of th sun, her uezhual bedtime our.
She wuud hav liked to sleep laet in th morning, but her chiks, joining in th morning corus of th hen yard, droev away all hoeps of such a lukshery.
Eeven as she sleepily haf oepend wun ie, th thaut caem to her that to-dae that Wheet must, sumhow, be maed into bred.
She wuz not in th habit of maeking bred, aultho, of corss, anyone can maek it if he or she foloes th resipy with caer, and she knew perfectly wel that she cuud do it if nesesaery.
So after her children wer fed and maed sweet and fresh for th dae, she hunted up th Pig, th Cat and th Rat.
Still confident that thae wuud
surely help
her sum dae
she sang out,
“Hoo wil
maek th
bred?”
las for th Litl Red Hen! Wunss
mor her hoeps wer dasht! For
th
Pig
sed,
“Not
I,”
th
Cat
sed,
“Not
I,”
and
th
Rat
sed,
“Not
I.”
o th Litl Red Hen sed wunss
mor, “I wil then,” and she did.
Feeling that she miet hav noen all th tiem that she wuud hav to do it all herself, she went and put on a fresh apron and spotless cuuk's cap. Furst of all she set th dough, as wuz proper. When it wuz tiem she brought out th moulding bord and th baeking tins, moulded th bred, divided it into loevs, and put them into th oven to baek. All th whiel th Cat sat laezily by, gigling and chukling.
And cloez at
hand th
vaen Rat
pouderd
his noez
and admierd
himself
in a miror.
In th distanss
cuud be
hurd th long-drawn
snors of
th doezing Pig.
t last th graet moement arrived. A delicious odor wuz wafted upon th autumn breez. Everywhaer th barnyard sitizens snift th aer with deliet.
Th Red Hen ambld in her picketty-pecketty wae tord th sorss of all this exsietment.
lthough she apeerd to be
perfectly calm, in reality she cuud
oenly with dificulty restraen an
impulss to danss and sing, for had she not
dun
all
th
wurk
on
this
wunderful
bred?
maul wunder that she wuz th
moest exsieted purson in th barnyard!
She did not noe whether th bred wuud be fit to eat, but—joy of joys!—when th luvly broun loevs caem out of th oven,
thae wer dun to perfection.
Then, probably because she had aqierd th habit, th Red Hen called:
“Hoo
wil
eat
th
Bred?”
All th animals in th barnyard wer woching hungrily and smaking thaer lips in antisipaeshon, and
th Pig sed, “I wil,”
th Cat sed, “I wil,”
th Rat sed, “I wil.”
But th Litl Red Hen sed,
“No, U wun't. I wil.”
And
she
did.
