The Other Little Red Hen
What to expect
In this playful reimagining of the traditional fable “The Little Red Hen", a hen discovers just how fragile the bonds of her community can be, and how rapidly her support network can disappear when people become too selfish. Though it doesn’t exactly contradict the moral of the original tale—that lazy people should not expect handouts—this story’s moral is a bit more nuanced: the handouts we ourselves receive are sometimes invisible to us … until they disappear.
