The Little Red Hen
 
 

 
"With Love, The Little Red Hen" is a cute retelling of the story of the Little Red Hen who does all the work.  (You might be able to find this at your local library).  I used the following quote from President Hinckley - "Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality. There is simply no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements."  I used a hen and her chicks for the clip art next to the saying.   (Idea by Lisa James)
 

I gave lesson 6 on Sunday and taught it a lot like a FHE lesson. At the beginning of the lesson I had 3 baby food jars half full of whipping cream that I passed out to the girls and told them to shake them a bit and then pass the jar on. I gave the lesson as presented
in the manual except I used one of the newer stories listed in the Resource Guide about the family with the broken dishwasher instead of the story about the family fixing up the shed. When we read Doctrine & Covenants 42:42 it reminded me of the story of the Little Red Hen-- the scripture says something about the idle not getting to eat the bread. Anyway I read the story of the little red hen, talked a little about the benefits of working together and by then the jars of whipping cream had been shaken into butter and I had rolls and the butter the girls worked together to make for them. I prepared a handout with the Neal A. Maxwell quote and used that to sum up the lesson. It went really well. (Idea by Suzy Dutson)
