The Little Red Hen


Good Morning: Have you wondered where the family loyalty has gone? Could it be that these little moral stories are no longer being taught in the schools. One that I seem to remember so well is: "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands, so comes poverty." What is this little proverb trying to teach? My garden constantly reminds me of this. I have to be alert and awake to keep the weeds out of my garden, or what I’ll have is a garden full of weeds. It’s a life lesson that can be extended into all aspects of life. You must stay healthy and alert and work at the important things.

Another one you may remember is the story of the little red hen in the barnyard? Nobody would help her in her chores of finding seed, planting and growing the grain, harvesting and grinding the grain and finally baking the bread. She did all this by her self. When she baked the bread, she refused to share it with all the other animals which had refused to help her. This is an extremely valuable story to be taught to our children. Examine and learn the moral lessons that this little story teaches. They can carry you through a lifetime of living a good life.

This little family had a very loyal and active working member; the little red hen. By her actions she was teaching her family the value of work and contributing to the family. Any member that refused to help was not awarded with the fruit of her work. It’s just that simple. These principles when applied nation wide will add to developing very strong loyal citizens and country.

I have a feeling that this little story is no longer being taught in our government school curriculum because they would probably consider it of no value in tearing down our country, instead of building it up. Citizens need to wake up and take control of the real development of our country by instilling loyalty and building strong loyal family units. When I was a small child back in the 1930‘s there were ruminants of this pioneer culture, but it is sadly missing today. If you would like to see that returned we need to turn back to the basics.

This communist idea of redistribution of wealth was tried by our pioneer parents back in the 1600’s. When Jamestown was established they had a communal system but within a very short time they found that this system was not going to work. Even then they had their share of sluggards. It was changed when they saw the results of their labour being distributed to the lazy and non contributing individuals. They soon put the communal idea away and went on to develop a strong group of colonies. Everybody being awarded according to their work and production. If that is taken away, it will be the final blow that will kill this country.
