Question

On a sunny day, Mother Hen is playing with her chickens on the grass. Later, they are hungry, so Mother Hen takes her children out to look for food. She finds a few grains of wheat（幾粒麥子）. So she asks her children to plant(種植) them in the garden. But none(沒有一個) of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.

A few months later, they get a lot of wheat. She asks her children, “Who would like to take wheat to the shop and get some flour?” But her children don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the shop and brings the flour home.

After getting home, she asks “Who will make some bread with the flour?” They all say, “I’m not free”. When she makes the bread, she says to her chickens, “Who wants to eat the bread?” “I will,” they all say. “No, you can’t. You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pain, no gain.’” She doesn’t give any bread to her children.
