"Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck "Then I will," said the little red hen little red hen cut the wheat . . So the all by herself. When all the wheat was cut, the little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour ?" . . . "Not I," barked the lazy dog "Not I," purred the sleepy cat "Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck "Then I will," said the little red hen little red hen brought the wheat . So the to the mill all by herself, ground the wheat into flour , and carried the heavy sack of flour back to the farm . The tired little red hen will help me bake asked her friends, "Who ?" . . . the bread "Not I," barked the lazy dog "Not I," purred the sleepy cat "Not I," quacked the noisy yellow duck "Then I will," said the little red hen little red hen herself. baked the bread . So the all by When the bread red hen eat was finished, the tired little asked her friends, "Who will help me ?" the bread "I will," barked the lazy dog "I will," purred the sleepy cat . . "I will," quacked the noisy yellow duck . "No!" said the little red hen little red hen herself. . "I will." And the all by ate the bread “大家觉得小红母鸡不把面包分给鸭子、老鼠和猪是对的吗？” 同学们都一致地点头。 “为什么说它是对的呢？”大家开始扭动，表现出坐立不安，却没有人自愿出来回答。不久后，孩子们将会很享受大量的师生对话，但到目前为止，这还仅是个令人不安的提议。“来吧，来吧，”马文说，“我不会让你们变成只会做作业的傻子。你们不会只是在学校里粘东西、填充颜色或是画图。我们将会做一些关于思考的事。现在告诉我，你们为什么认为小红母鸡是对的？” “它做了所有的事；其它动物都太懒了，”教室后面传来了一个孩子的声音。 “它做了所有的什么？它做了所有的工作，是吗？它播种、收割、打谷，它将小麦搬到磨子前磨成面粉，还烤了面包。而其它的动物都很懒，不愿帮助小红母鸡做任何工作，它们只愿帮它吃面包。这个故事告诉了我们什么道理？它教给了我们什么东西？如果我们不工作，我们便没有食物可吃。如果我们不工作，我们便没有什么？” “没有食物可吃”，大家整齐地回答。众多的人数是一种安全保障：现在要让孩子们冒险说出自己的答案还是很难的。 “现在，如果我说我认为小红母鸡很自私，你们又会说什么？它应该与谷仓场院的动物们分享它的东西。你们觉得呢？” “不”，大家都在摇头。 “为什么不呢？难道大人们没有告诉你们应该与小伙伴们分享你们的玩具、饼干或是糖果吗？弗雷迪，你来说说看呢？” “这不一样，”他说。 “是的，甜心，这是不一样。孩子们，请听我说，在这个世界上，如果想要成功，你们就要准确地讲话。我不想在教室里听到任何假大空的话，或是黑色英语中类似的东西。你们不能当自己仅仅是黑人孩子或贫民窟的小孩。你们必须成为这个世界的公民，就像苏格拉底那样。” “弗雷迪，现在你来告诉我，你为什么认为不愿共享其面包的小红母鸡的情况与常常受大人教导要与小伙伴分享玩具的孩子不同呢？” “小红母鸡很努力地工作才有了面包。” “很好，弗雷迪，你说得很对：小红母鸡挣得了这一切。这两种情况间没有任何可比性，这是不一样的两件事。你们都知道相同的这个词。现在让我们来学一个更高级的词：类似的意思就是相同的、相似的。” “假设我让一个孩子帮我做了一些杂务，之后我给了他一些糖果作为奖赏。随后仅仅因为你们说给我一些，他就必须与你们分享糖果吗？” 大家又一次选择了摇头。 “当然不必。你们有权因为各自的工作及努力而得到奖赏，并且有权占有你们挣得的东西。你们不必在有人伸开手向你们索取的时候就施舍他们。今天向人索取的人，明日也还会如此。免费地给他一些东西并不能解决他的问题，必须让他学会自己解决问题。如果你告诉同学家庭作业的答案，你这是在帮他吗？不，你这是在误导他，让他不去学习如何自己寻找答案。” “所以，这个故事的意义是非常重要的。工作的人将会有很多食物，有好衣服，还有体面的住所。懒人只会永远伸着双手索取。你们可以选择、也有权选择你们想做什么样的人。”
