THE LITTLE RED HEN

Our American auxiliary enjoys reading stories to the kids
 and this week´s story is "The Little Red Hen."
Through this story, the kids learn that it is important to
help friends when they need it because one day we might need help too.
 Also, they learn that in order to enjoy
the product/success of a process, they need to
work hard and constantly. 

Our actors, actrisses and story narrator.

-Can you help me plant these wheat grains? said the little red hen. 
-No, not I, said the brown dog

-Can you help me cut the wheat plants? asked the little red hen.
But the pig said, no, not I.

Can you help me cook some wheat bread? asked the hen.
But not even the baker wanted to help.

Can you help me carry the wheat to the mill? The little red hen asked.
No, not I, said the cowboy.
