The + Cock upset the milk jug, + and the Mouse scattered + crumbs upon the floor + + [Illustration] + + "Who'll clear away the + breakfast?" asked the poor + little Red Hen, hoping + + [Illustration] + + they would soon leave + off being cross. + + "_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + + "_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + + "Then I'll do it myself," + said the little Red Hen. + + So she cleared everything + away, swept up the crumbs, + and brushed up the fireplace. + + [Illustration] + + [Illustration] + + "And now, who'll help + me to make the beds?" + + "_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + + "_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + + [Illustration] + + [Illustration] + + "Then I'll do it myself," + said the little Red Hen. + + And she tripped away + upstairs. + + But the lazy Cock and + Mouse each sat down in a + comfortable arm-chair by + the fire + + [Illustration] + + and soon fell + fast asleep. + + [Illustration] + + [Illustration] + + Now the bad Fox had + crept up the hill, and into + the garden, and if the Cock + and Mouse hadn't been + asleep, they would have seen + his sharp eyes peeping in + at the window. + + "Rat tat tat, Rat tat tat", + the Fox knocked at the door. + + [Illustration] + + [Illustration] + + "Who can that be?" said the + Mouse, half opening his eyes. + + "Go and look for yourself, if + you want to know," said the + rude Cock + + [Illustration] + + "It's the postman perhaps," + thought the Mouse to himself, + "and he may have a letter + for me."

I wish I hadn't been + so cross," said the Cock, as + they went bumping about. + + "Oh! I wish I hadn't been + so lazy," said the Mouse, wiping + his eyes with the tip of his tail. + + "It's never too late to mend," + said the little Red Hen. "And + don't be too sad. + + [Illustration] + + See, here I have my little + work-bag, and in it there is + a pair of scissors, and a + little thimble, and a needle + and thread.

I must + hurry home." + + So the bad Fox went + grumbling and groaning + down the hill + + [Illustration] + + till he came to the + stream. + + Splash! In went one foot. + Splash! In went the other, + but the stones in the sack + were so heavy that at the + very next step down tumbled + Mr. Fox into a deep pool. + + [Illustration] + + And then the fishes carried + him off to their fairy caves + and kept him a prisoner there, + so he was never seen again. + + [Illustration] + + And the four greedy + little foxes had to go + to bed without any + supper. + + [Illustration] + + [Illustration] + + But the Cock and the + Mouse never grumbled + again. They lit the fire, + filled the kettle, laid the + breakfast, and did all the + work, while the good little + Red Hen had a holiday, and + sat resting in the big arm-chair. + + No foxes ever troubled + them again, and for all I + know they are still living + happily in the little house + with the green door and + green shutters, which stands + on the hill. + + [Illustration] + + The End + + + * * * * * + * * * * + + +The Cock, the Mouse and the little Red Hen + + +Once upon a time there was a hill, and on the hill there was a +pretty little house. It had one little green door, and four little +windows with green shutters, and in it there lived a Cock and a +Mouse and a Little Red Hen[.] + +On another hill close by there was another little house. It was very +ugly. It had a door that wouldn't shut, and two broken windows, and +all the paint was off the shutters[.] And in this house there lived +a Bold Bad Fox and Four Bad Little Foxes[.] + +One morning these four bad little foxes came to the big bad Fox and +said: + +"Oh, Father, we're so hungry!" + +"We had nothing to eat yesterday," said one. + +"And scarcely anything the day before," said another. + +"And only half a chicken the day before that," said the third. + +"And only two little ducks the day before that," said the fourth. + +The big bad Fox shook his head for a long time, for he was thinking. +At last he said in a big gruff voice: "On that hill over there I see +a house. And in that house there lives a Cock." + +"And a Mouse," screamed two of the little foxes. + +"And a little Red Hen," screamed the other two. + +"And they are nice and fat," went on the big bad Fox. "This very +day, I'll take my great sack, and I will go up that hill, and in at +that door, and into my sack I will put the Cock, and the Mouse, and +the little Red Hen." + +"I'll make a fire to roast the Cock," said one little fox. + +"I'll put on the saucepan to boil the Hen," said the second. + +"And I'll get the frying pan to fry the Mouse," said the third. + +"And I'll have the biggest helping when they are all cooked," said +the fourth, who was the greediest of all. So the four little foxes +jumped for joy, and the big bad Fox went to get his sack ready to +start upon his journey. + +But what was happening to the Cock and the Mouse, and the little Red +Hen, all this time? Well, sad to say, the Cock and the Mouse had +both got out of bed on the wrong side that morning. The Cock said +the day was too hot, and the Mouse grumbled because it was too cold. +They came grumbling down to the kitchen, where the good little Red +Hen, looking as bright as a sunbeam, was bustling about. + +"Who'll get some sticks to light the fire with?" she asked. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + +"Then I'll do it myself," said the little Red Hen. So off she ran to +get the sticks. "And now, who'll fill the kettle from the spring?" +she asked. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + +"Then I'll do it myself," said the little Red Hen. And off she ran +to fill the kettle. "And who'll get the breakfast ready?" she asked, +as she put the kettle on to boil. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + +"I'll do it myself," said the little Red Hen. All breakfast time the +Cock and the Mouse quarrelled and grumbled. The Cock upset the milk +jug, and the Mouse scattered crumbs upon the floor[.] "Who'll clear +away the breakfast?" asked the poor little Red Hen, hoping they +would soon leave off being cross. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + +"Then I'll do it myself," said the little Red Hen. So she cleared +everything away, swept up the crumbs, and brushed up the fireplace. +"And now, who'll help me to make the beds?" + +"_I_ shan't," said the Cock. + +"_I_ shan't," said the Mouse. + +"Then I'll do it myself," said the little Red Hen. And she tripped +away upstairs. But the lazy Cock and Mouse each sat down in a +comfortable arm-chair by the fire and soon fell fast asleep. + +Now the bad Fox had crept up the hill, and into the garden, and if +the Cock and Mouse hadn't been asleep, they would have seen his +sharp eyes peeping in at the window. "Rat tat tat, Rat tat tat", the +Fox knocked at the door. + +"Who can that be?" said the Mouse, half opening his eyes. + +"Go and look for yourself, if you want to know," said the rude +Cock[.] + +"It's the postman perhaps," thought the Mouse to himself, "and he +may have a letter for me." So without waiting to see who it was, he +lifted the latch and opened the door. As soon as he opened it in +jumped the big Fox, with a cruel smile upon his face! "Oh! oh! oh!" +squeaked the Mouse as he tried to run up the chimney. + +"Doodle doodle do!" screamed the Cock, as he jumped on the back of +the biggest arm-chair[.] But the Fox only laughed, and without more +ado he took the little Mouse by the tail, and popped him into the +sack, and seized the Cock by the neck and popped him in too. Then +the poor little Red Hen came running down-stairs to see what all the +noise was about, and the Fox caught her and put her into the sack +with the others. Then he took a long piece of string out of his +pocket, wound it round and round and round the mouth of the sack, +and tied it very tight indeed. After that he threw the sack over his +back and set off down the hill. + +"Oh! I wish I hadn't been so cross," said the Cock, as they went +bumping about. + +"Oh! I wish I hadn't been so lazy," said the Mouse, wiping his eyes +with the tip of his tail. + +"It's never too late to mend," said the little Red Hen. "And don't +be too sad. See, here I have my little work-bag, and in it there is +a pair of scissors, and a little thimble, and a needle and thread. +Very soon you will see what I am going to do." + +Now the sun was very hot, and soon Mr. Fox began to feel his sack +was heavy, and at last he thought he would lie down under a tree and +go to sleep for a little while. So he threw the sack down with a big +bump, and very soon fell fast asleep. + +Snore, snore, snore, went the Fox. + +As soon as the little Red Hen heard this, she took out her scissors, +and began to snip a hole in the sack, just large enough for the +Mouse to creep through. "Quick," she whispered to the Mouse, "run as +fast as you can and bring back a stone just as large as yourself." +Out scampered the Mouse, and soon came back, dragging the stone +after him. "Push it in here," said the little Red Hen, and he pushed +it in in a twinkling. + +Then the little Red Hen snipped away the hole, till it was large +enough for the Cock to get through. "Quick," she said, "run and get +a stone as big as yourself." Out flew the Cock, and soon came back +quite out of breath, with a big stone, which he pushed into the sack +too. + +Then the little Red Hen popped out, got a stone as big as herself, +and pushed it in. Next she put on her thimble, took out her needle +and thread, and sewed up the hole as quickly as ever she could. When +it was done, the Cock and the Mouse and the little Red Hen ran home +very fast, shut the door after them, drew the bolts, shut the +shutters, and drew down the blinds and felt quite safe. + +The bad Fox lay fast asleep under the tree for some time, but at +last he woke up.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
