THE MORAL TALE OF THE LITTLE RED HEN (REVISED)

You know the story of the Little Red Hen. She goes around the barnyard asking for help in baking a cake and gets turned down by the other animals. After she industriously gets the ingredients and bakes the cake herself, the other animals decide they want a cut. Conservatives would say it illustrates the way society works. The rich work hard and everyone else does not, but we sloths want to take what the rich have rightfully earned. It's a nice little fable, but not quite true to real life. In this satirical piece the tale of the Little Red Hen gets another look. This is at www.conceptualguerilla.com:

The last time I checked, the little red hen was living in a brand new air-conditioned ten thousand square foot chicken house. She is the queen of the barnyard. She is respected. She is feared. She is hated. She attributes this hatred to “envy”. In fact, for all her wealth and power, she is miserable, because she can never rest. She spends her days on the roof of her chicken palace looking at the other animals in the barnyard, and wondering. When will they figure out the game? When will they ask why all ten of them can't work in her bakery? When will they figure out that the starvation of the two is being used as a weapon against the other eight? When will they realize that they and the two “deadbeats” are being screwed by the same little red hen?. When will they unite – once again – and force her to offer them a fairer deal? When will they realize that they don’t need her at all, and her oven can cook more than just bread and pastry?

I hear oven baked chicken is delicious.
