The Little Red Hen, retold for the Age of Occupy
Felicia Cravens has rewritten the classic folk tale The Little Red Hen, updating it for the current political climate in America.
Once upon a time, a lamb, a cat, a pig, and a little red hen lived on an old farm on a flowery hill surrounded by fields of golden wheat. One day, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat scattered in the barnyard. “Look what I’ve found!” she said to the other animals. “Who will help me plant these grains of wheat?”
“Not I!” said the lamb. “You’re taking jobs away from migrant workers who badly need them.”
“Not I!” said the cat. “You’re betraying feminist principles by engaging in menial labor.”
“Not I!” said the pig. “That wheat can’t be organic.”
“Then I’ll do it myself,” said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. She knew that seeds need water to grow tall and strong. “Who will help me water these seeds?” asked the Little Red Hen.
“Not I!” said the lamb. “You can’t use the pond water because the endangered snifflefish lives there.”
“Not I!” said the cat. “The water usage is restricted due to the drought.”
“Not I!” said the pig. “Your property rights do not extend to the water rights.”
“Then I’ll do it myself,” said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen watered the soil and waited patiently for the wheat to grow. When the wheat was tall and golden, she knew it was ready to be cut. “Who will help me harvest the wheat?” asked the Little Red Hen.
“Not I!” said the lamb. “The migrant workers are back for harvest and you’re taking their income.”
“Not I!” said the cat. “I refuse to assist you in reducing the role of women to that of a farm hand.”
“Not I!” said the pig. “Obviously the Commerce Clause says you can’t grow the wheat, even for personal consumption.”
“Then I’ll do it myself,” said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen’s basket was soon filled with wheat. “Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?” asked the Little Red Hen…

George Bernard Shaw said, “When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.” No real lengthy search required here!
Sad but so true.
