   >Hi, i heard the story of Little Red RidingHood? Who is the Red Hen?   
      
   Story of a little red hen and a bunch of lazy animals.   
   The hen goes through all the work of getting the end product of bread:   
   Till the soil, plant the wheat, water the wheat, Pull weeds, harvest   
   the wheat, take it to the mill to grind into flour, bake the bread   
   (knead the dough, carry to oven, etc), etc. This can be shorter or   
   longer depending on how creative you are. (good lesson in there on all   
   it takes to process food... ;)   
      
   At each point, she asks "Who will help me [...]"   
   and all the animals each say "Not I!" and she ends up doing the work   
   herself.   
      
   At the end of the story, she asks "Who will help me eat the bread?"   
   and the entire farm says "I will!".   
   At this point you get to decide if she shares or not. In the   
   traditional story, she says that since noone helped her, she would eat   
   it herself (Sometimes she and her family of chicks eat it all.). Some   
   varients have her show mercy, and share.   
      
   There are various political jokes that can made:   
   Communism: the government takes all the fresh bread and gives them   
   	   last weeks mouldy bread.   
   Capitalism: The hen sells the bread and moves to some aruba.   
   Despotism: The government says there is no bread.   
   Democracy: The farm votes to make a law that all bread must be shared,   
   	   and if the bread isn't shared, the hen is arested.   
   etc....
