The Little Red Hen

Little Red Hen by Lyn Calder
Capitalism vs socialism

One day Little Red Hen was scratching around in her garden when she found some grains of wheat. "Who will help me plant this wheat?" asked Little Red Hen.
"Not I," said Duck.
"Not I," said Cat.
"Not I," said Dog.
"Then I will plant the wheat myself," said Little Red Hen.
And she did.

Day by day the wheat grew. When it was tall and yellow, Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me cut the wheat?"
"Not I," said Duck.
"Not I," said Cat.
"Not I," said Dog.
"Then I will cut the wheat myself," said Little Red Hen.
And she did.

Once Little Red Hen had cut the wheat she asked, "Who will help me thresh the wheat?"
"Not I," said Duck.
"Not I," said Cat.
"Not I," said Dog.
"Then I will thresh the wheat myself," said Little Red Hen.
And she did.

The wheat had to be ground into flour. "Who will help me take the wheat to the miller for grinding?" asked Little Red Hen.
"Not I," said Duck.
"Not I," said Cat.
"Not I," said Dog.
"Then I will take the wheat to the miller myself," said Little Red Hen.
And she did.

When Little Red Hen returned with the flour, she asked, "Who will help me make the dough and bake the bread?"
"Not I," said Duck.
"Not I," said Cat.
"Not I," said Dog.
"Then I will make the dough and bake the bread myself," said Little Red Hen.
And she did.

Finally, the bread was ready. "Who will help me eat this warm and tasty bread?" asked Little Red Hen.
"I will!" said Duck.
"I will!" said Cat.
"I will!" said Dog.
"Oh no!" said Little Red Hen. "I will eat the bread myself."
And she did.

But not before the farmer Obama found out and took 50% bread away from the hen and redistributed it to all the animals on the farm. After the redistribution everyone only had a couple crumbs of bread and the farmer Obama's home of friends and family was large and well fed. The hen really liked to make bread so the next time she made 3 loafs. The farmer Obama decided to take even more from the red little hen...this time he took 80% of her bread. The little red hen decided that day there was no motivation for her to make lots bread anymore when it was taken away by the farmer Obama. She decided she would just settle for the farmer Obama's crumbs and sometime make a small loaf of bread from time to time. Because the less she made the less she had to share. Because little red hen wasn't motivated to make bread anymore...the animals and farmer obama got hungry because no one was making bread to redistribute. So farmer Obama ordered the red little hen to make bread against her will for them to eat and for the farmer to sell and keep the profits.
