The Little Red Hen - Rhymes and Songs
Hens of a Different Color
This little hen is black.
She stands in the barnyard by the big hay stack.
This little hen is red.
She is very tired and won't get out of bed.
This little hen is brown.
She is feeling sad and wearing a frown.
This little hen is yellow.
She's friends with the rooster; he's a handsome fellow.
This little hen is white.
She dances and plays; oh what a sight!
This little hen is purple.
She spends her days running around in circles.
This little hen is green.
She is the silliest hen I've ever seen.
This little hen is blue.
She lays eggs in the farmer's shoe.
This little hen in pink.
She wobbles to the pond to get a drink.
All of these hens live at the farm.
They rest in the barn out of harm.
"The Fight"
by Helen H. Moore
I have a friend. We had a fight.
I cried myself to sleep last night.
And when I see my friend today,
I'll say, "I'm sorry. Want to play?"
I hope she'll say she's sorry, too.
I'm sure she will. That's what friends do.
