Clucky, clucky clucky, cluck. She ran to the market bought flour and ran back home.
“Then I guess I’ll do it. , ’’ sighed the hen. “Clucky, clucky, cluck. Who will help me bake the cake? ’’ said hen. “Not I’’ poked the porcupine. “Not I’’ neighed the horse. “Not I’’ yelled the panda. “Not I’’ hissed the snake.
Who will help me mix the flour with the egg yolk?” “Not I,’’ exclaimed the porcupine. “Not I,’’ remarked the horse. “Not I,’’ squealed the panda. “Not I,’’ yelled the snake.
“Then I guess I’ll do it. Clucky , cluck, cluck.’’ The next morning the cake was ready. Snake slithered into the kitchen. Horse danced into the kitchen. Panda crawled into the kitchen. Porcupine scurried into the kitchen. “Who will help me eat this cake? “Not un7l you apologize for not helping me make the cake. “We are sorry’’ , they said in unison. “I forgive you’’, said the hen. They ate the cake together and learned a valuable lesson.
