    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

Wow! That is a really powerful video! My sister and her husband experienced a kitchen fire a few years ago. Thankfully they and their wheelchair bound daughter were able to get out of the house fairly quickly. They did not lose their house, but had extensive smoke damage and had to replace the entire kitchen. Someone had walked away to answer the door while cooking fried potatoes. It happened very quickly. Thanks for the reminder, Barbara, to keep our families safe.

Thank you for that. My first instinct would be to throw water on it. Yikes!

Barbara,

Not to throw a wet blanket on this post or anything but, I was quite disturbed by the "hehehehehe" that flashed on the screen just after recognizing the burn scars on the face of the narrator. Is it possible that the person that added the frames in blue didn't notice the face of the narrator? Or, is it possible that I've misinterpreted the "hehehehehe?" I hope it wasn't intentional. Would you mind to review the video and see what you think? You don't need to post this comment.

Barbara,

I don't know how you did it but, thanks for editing out the blue frames! You are GOOD!
