小紅母雞的故事

A little red hen once found a grain of wheat. “ Who will plant this wheat?” she said. “I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“Then I will,” says the little red hen . ”cluck! cluck!” So she planted the grain of wheat.

小紅母雞找到一粒小麥。“誰愿意種這粒小麥?她問大家。狗說：“我不種。”貓說：“我不種。”豬說：“我不種。”火雞說：“我也不種。”“那我自己種。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!”

Very soon the wheat began to grow and the green leaves came out of the ground . the sun shone and the rain fell and the wheat kept on growing until it was tall, strong, and ripe.

小紅母雞把那粒小麥種好了。很快，麥子破土而出，冒出了綠芽。陽光的照射，雨水的澆灌，麥子長得又高又壯，漸漸成熟了。

“who will reap this wheat?” says the little red hen.“I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“I will, then,” says the little red hen. “Cluck! Cluck!”So she reaped the wheat.

小紅母雞又問大家：“誰愿意收麥子?”狗說：“我不收。”貓說：“我不收。”豬說：“我不收。”火雞說：“我也不收。”“那我去收。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!”于是她把小麥收割了。

“Who will thresh this wheat?” says the little red hen.“I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“I will, then,” says the little red hen. “Cluck! Cluck!” So she threshed the wheat.

“誰愿意打麥子?”小紅母雞又問。狗說：“我不打。”貓說：“我不打。”豬說：“我不打。”火雞說：“我也不打。”“那我去打。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!”小紅母雞把麥子打好了。

“Who will take this wheat to mill to have it ground?” says the little red hen.“I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“I will, then,” says the little red hen. “Cluck! Cluck!” So she took the wheat to mill, and by and by she came back with the flour.

小紅母雞又問：“誰愿把小麥拿到磨房去磨?”狗說：“我不去。”貓說：“我不去。”豬說：“我不去。”火雞說：“我也不去。”“那我去。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!”于是，她把小麥背去磨了，不久，把面粉背了回來。

“Who will bake this flour?” says the little red hen.“I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“I will, then,” says the little red hen. “Cluck! Cluck!” So she baked the flour and made a loaf of bread.

“誰愿意烤面包?”小紅母雞又問。狗說：“我不烤。”貓說：“我不烤。”豬說：“我不烤。”火雞說：“我也不烤。”“那我去烤。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!”她就把面粉烤熟了，做了一條面包。

“Who will eat this bread?” says the little red hen.“I won’t,” says the dog.“I won’t,” says the cat.“I won’t,” says the pig.“I won’t,” says the turkey.“No,I will, ” says the little red hen. “Cluck! Cluck!” So she took the wheat to mill, and by and by she came back with the flour.And she ate up the loaf of bread.

“誰來吃面包呀?”小紅母雞又問。狗說：“我吃。”貓說：“我吃。”豬說：“我吃。”火雞說：“我也要吃。”“不行，我自己吃。”小紅母雞說。“克拉克!克拉克!” 她把面包吃完了。
