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（几粒麦子）. So she asks her children to plant(种植) them in the garden. But none(没有一个) of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.

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.
