1. On a sunny day, Mother Hen is playing with her chickens on the grass. Later, they are hungry, so Mother Hen takes her children out to look for food. She finds a grain of wheat(麦子). So she asks her children to plant it in the garden. But none of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.
A few months later, they get a lot of wheat. She asks her children, “Who would you like to take the wheat to the shop and get some
flour?” But her children don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the shop and brings the flour home.
After getting home, she asks, “Who will make some bread with the flour?” They all say, “We are not free”.
When she makes the bread, she says to her chickens, “Who wants to eat the bread?”
“I will,” they all say.
“No, you can’t. You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pains, no gains(不劳而获).’” She doesn’t give any bread to her children and she eats the bread herself.
