This story is called The Little Red Hen, written by Florence White Williams, and adapted and read by Madeline Walton-Hadlock and Lorena Romero. This is a LibraryCall recording. Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived in a barn. She spent almost all of her time walking around, looking here and there, digging everywhere to find worms. She loved fat, delicious worms, and she felt like they were absolutely necessary for the health of her children. As soon as she found a worm, she would call “cluck, cluck” to her little chicks and they would come running.

This story is called the Ant and the Grasshopper, adapted from Aesop’s fable and read by Ryan Aoto. This is a LibraryCall recording. Far from the cities, across the fields, over the mountains, and deep in the woods, there lived an ant. As is the nature of ants, this ant did not live alone. She lived with hundreds of thousands of her family members in a great colony. Every member of the colony had a role and worked hard to help the family. The little ant was excited to go out and help. She loved to explore. Every day, she would head out to a new area, in search of food.
