The Little Red Hen Plants Pumpkin Seeds

by Miss K. and Ms. W.

illustrated by Ms. W.

The Little Red Hen found some seeds. She said, “Who is going to help me plant these seeds?”

The ghost, the witch and the mummy said, “Not I!”

They would not help her.

The Little Red Hen said, “I will plant them myself,” and she did.

So she planted the seeds.

The seeds began to grow into tiny plants.

The Little Red Hen said, “Who will help me water the plants?”

The ghost, the witch and the mummy said, “We will not help you!”

“I will water the plants myself,” said the hen. And she did.

The tiny plants grew bigger and bigger. Soon weeds grew in the garden, too.

“Who will help me pull out these weeds?” asked the Little Red Hen

“Not us!” said the ghost, the witch and the mummy.

“I will pull up the weeds myself,” said the Little Red Hen, and she did.

The plants grew into long vines with big leaves and orange flowers.

The orange flowers grew into beautiful pumpkins!

“Who will help me pick these pumpkins?” asked the Little Red Hen.

“Not us!” said the ghost, the witch and the mummy.

“I will pick them myself,” said the Little Red Hen, and she did.

There were so many pumpkins she needed help!

“Who will help me bake these pumpkin seeds? Who will help me carve the pumpkins?” asked the Little Red Hen.

“Not us!” said the ghost, the witch, and the mummy.

“I will do it myself!” said the hen. And she did!

“Who will help me eat these delicious pumpkin seeds?” asked the Little Red Hen.

“I will!” said the ghost.

“I will!” said the witch.

“I will!” said the mummy.

“No! I will!” said the Little Red Hen.

And she did.
