What follows is a simple epiphany set that upends some very eronious teahcings I’ve heard all my life. the story has in it a rare girl main character and is about the subject work and fairness. we’re going to have you reread it in case you forget it.. and discuss why it’s not a surprise a girl is the star because it covers in reality laziness but heheheheh who? responsibility…who? nagging atop of failing to correctly ask after what she wants, andjudginging, andthe most evil thing of all lack of hospitality. many incorrectly use this tale to reinforce good manners in their children when all along it really is a tale toremind host and hostess alike of godliness. without further ado,
the little red hen
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen 
who lived on a farm 
. She was friends with a lazy dog 
, a sleepy cat 
, and a noisy yellow duck 
.
One day the little red hen found some seeds 
on the ground. The little red hen had an idea. She would plant the seeds .
The little red hen asked her friends, “Who will help me plant the seeds ?”
“Not I,” barked the lazy dog .
“Not I,” purred the sleepy cat .
“Not I,” quacked the noisy yellow duck .
“Then I will,” said the little red hen . So the little red hen planted the seeds all by herself.
When the seeds had grown, the little red hen asked her friends, “Who will help me cut the wheat 
?”
“Not I,” barked the lazy dog .
“Not I,” purred the sleepy cat .
“Not I,” quacked the noisy yellow duck .
“Then I will,” said the little red hen . So the little red hen cut the wheat all by herself.
When all the wheat was cut, the little red hen asked her friends, “Who will help me take the wheat to the mill 
to be ground into flour 
?”
“Not I,” barked the lazy dog .
“Not I,” purred the sleepy cat .
“Not I,” quacked the noisy yellow duck .
“Then I will,” said the little red hen . So the little red hen brought the wheat to the mill all by herself, ground the wheat into flour , and carried the heavy sack 
of flour back to the farm .
The tired little red hen asked her friends, “Who will help me bake 
the bread 
?”
“Not I,” barked the lazy dog .
“Not I,” purred the sleepy cat .
“Not I,” quacked the noisy yellow duck .
“Then I will,” said the little red hen . So the little red hen baked the bread all by herself.
When the bread was finished, the tired little red hen asked her friends, “Who will help me eat 
the bread ?”
“I will,” barked the lazy dog .
“I will,” purred the sleepy cat .
“I will,” quacked the noisy yellow duck .
“No!” said the little red hen . “I will.” And the little red hen ate the bread all by herself.

commentary upon the lesson is mine.
now I don’t care if you believe in my premise nor in my religion nor anything at all or if you outright disagree but lets us cover the reasons I’d say this always has been a lesson and typical girl bashing.
as i say if it is good a man is typically the main character. it isn’t impossible for a girl to be shrewd or noble but it is for men to think and girls to know their place. -don’t go beating me up that’s very clearly shown through out history… take up the that’s bullshit with history not me. so anytime anything good occurs especially in a moral lesson I am suspect if it’s anything good if the girl is the main character. I am not disappointed here either
the most cherished thing in religious teachings is humility and grace… thus hospitality…you do not know when you will be in the same circumstances your own self… however this never meant blindly throwing everything you have away to strangers but wisely within our means always giving all we can not all we have all we can…
this hen demands of guests they work which instantly breeches hospitality- this no sin sometimes we need help and we should always ask but please note the wize males refuse each and everytime honoring the hen to show effort and hospitality again it is no accident this is a lady character. and this is easily shown when you go to a restaurant are you expected to clean your own table? how flippin rude is that disgusting I don’t pay to have to clean up other’s work. if i go to a hamburger joint to I have to assemble my burger and cook it too?? how rude…I can understand it is my option to have garnishes and I can add my own. but why should i pay to do another’s work? next example is I don’t want useless friends so I can ask at parties that I’m aided to serve them better than I can manage on my own please.. it isn’t a demand it’s common sense and despite years of jokes I do ask for aid in the kitchen all the time once to the point of throwing a bbq where the one guest had to run the bbq as i was swamped… I didn’t ask them to toil in the kitchen but take center stage and glory as that’s what the bbq is always about mmm glorious mastery of fire. but in general if you are invited it is for me to serve you as best I can. you do not go on vacations to lift too many fingers and indeed would be offended if you had to no fool in business stays in business if he/she isn’t hospitable…as ultimately that is where the money is…hospitality…service. watch and note how quick you’ll not return to a place with employees displaying a bad attitude..you don’t pay or patronize nor stay for crap service. even if you paid nothing and simply are asking for service… I mean would you patronize a place that can not let you a respectable human being use a toilet or have a water? if they can not display service and hospitality why bother with them. please understand that loitering bums who make a mess make this a per person basis but ultimately it’s not worth going to a place that doesn’t believe in service/hospitality.
next where does this stupid ungodly hen get off judging a guest as anything? it is one thing to ask people to leave if they aren’t living up to an arranged trade of responsibilities or good beahviour… it is another thing to negatively nag people to do our work for us serve themselves and then be cross we asked for something and were denied it and thus acted the spoiled cross fool. how ungodly and thus big surprise it’s again a womanly character short sighted of anything holy and lazy and mean to deny guests the bounty of the lord. how shiftless nagging irresonsible and on and on I can’t believe the ignorant hen! invites others in and denies them food? it gets no more evil than that. burn the witch above her station with her own ungodly notions??
don’t think someone hasn’t already.
what a sly thing it is for it to be to a woman to mak a judgement when we’re told not to ever lest we be judged and found wanting.
in short what seems proper that there is no free lunch as in things cost, don’t waste the gifts of others is perverted into there at its base those who have nothing are expected to do the work of another for their benefit… no wonder a woman is chosen as the lead of this story… in every way possible it is selfish and short sighted and ungodly and negative from beginning to end…why not let the woman take the hit for that
if you would like to laugh and disagree please do lets discuss
