Question

One day a big red hen is playing with her chickens in the garden. After some time, she wants to eat something and she takes out her chickens to look for food.

When they are eating, she finds a grain of wheat(一粒小麥). So she asks her chickens to plant it in the back garden. But no one wants to do it. The big red hen has to do it herself.

After a few months, they get a lot of wheat. She says to her chickens, “Who will take the wheat to the store to get some flour(面粉)?” But they don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the store and brings the flour home.

After she gets home, she says,“ Who will make some bread with the flour? ”They all say they are very busy, so they can’t do it.

When she makes the bread, she says to her chickens,“ Who wants to eat the bread?”

“I will,” they say. “No, you can’t. You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pains, no gains（不勞無獲）’.”She doesn’t give any bread to her chickens and she eats the bread herself.
