Excerpt from The Cock, the Mouse and the Little Red Hen: An Old Tale Retold
Little Red Hen, all this time? Well, sad to say, the Cock and the Mouse had both got out of bed on the wrong side that morning. The Cock said the day was too hot, and the Mouse grumbled because it was too cold. They came grumbling down to the kitchen, where the good little Red Hen, looking as bright as a sunbeam, was bustling about. Who’ll get some sticks to light the fire with? She asked. I shan’t, said the Cock. I shan’t, said the liouse. Then I’ll do it myself, said.
