The Little Red Hen... Yes... Seriously

from Prometheus Radio Theatre

Seriously?  Yes, seriously.  Steve recorded the 1918 version of the folktale "The Little Red Hen."  The source says it's English, Wikipedia says it's Russian.  For July 4th, we're calling it American.  Steve found out that his kids had never heard this story about self-reliance, DIY and independence, and he thinks there's some kind of conspiracy afoot.  So here it is, in hopes that no child in the podcasting community will miss out on this simple story about doing all the work yourself and reaping the benefits.  Happy Independence Day!  BTW, there are multiple formats of the story at Project Gutenberg.
