ne day the Little Red Hen found a
Seed. It was a Wheat Seed, but the
Little Red Hen was so accustomed to
bugs and worms that she supposed this to be some new and
perhaps very delicious kind of meat. She bit it gently and found
that it resembled a worm in no way whatsoever as to taste
although because it was long and slender, a Little Red Hen
might easily be fooled by its appearance.

On the ground lay the nicely cut Wheat, ready to be gathered and threshed,

Her attention was sorely divided between her duty to her
children and her duty to the Wheat, for which she felt
responsible.
So, again, in a very hopeful tone, she called out, “Who will
thresh the Wheat?”
But the Pig, with a grunt, said, “Not I,” and the Cat, with a meow, said, “Not
I,” and the Rat, with a squeak, said, “Not I.”
So the Little Red Hen, looking, it must be admitted, rather discouraged, said,
“Well, I will, then.”
And she did.
Of course, she had to feed her babies first, though, and when she had gotten
them all to sleep for their afternoon nap, she
went out and threshed the Wheat. Then she called out: “Who will carry the
Wheat to the mill to be ground?”

After this really strenuous day Mrs. Hen retired to her slumbers earlier than
usual—indeed, before the colors came into the sky to herald the setting of
the sun, her usual bedtime hour.
She would have liked to sleep late in the morning, but her chicks, joining in
the morning chorus of the hen yard, drove away all hopes of such a luxury.

Even as she sleepily half opened one eye, the thought came to her that to-day
that Wheat must, somehow, be made into bread.
She was not in the habit of making bread, although, of course, anyone can
make it if he or she follows the recipe with care, and she knew perfectly well
that she could do it if necessary.
So after her children were fed and made sweet and fresh for the day, she
hunted up the Pig, the Cat and the Rat.

Feeling that she might

it all herself, she went and
put on a fresh apron and
spotless cook's cap. First
of all she set the dough, as
was proper. When it was

moulding board and the
baking tins, moulded the
bread, divided it into
loaves, and put them into

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the
number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment
including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are
particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort,
much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have
not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against
accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us
with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the
United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods
and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including
checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg
electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg
eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions,
all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a
copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in
compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how
to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,
how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email
newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
