The Hen Queen

We won’t tell you what this fun story is about. We’ll only say that once there was a hen. She was white as snow in the mountains, and her comb was gold—just like the sun at noon! One day she walked up to a little puddle to drink. She saw her reflection in the water and clucked all over the yard: “Cluck-cluck! Just look at that comb! It’s pure gold! With a comb like this, I’ll surely become Queen of Spain!”

One day, while digging around in a pile of manure, she found a precious gem. The hen was very happy: “Now I have something to present when I go to the royal castle! I’ll give the king the precious stone— the king will love me and make me queen!”

What happens next, you’ll learn by listening to the fairy tale.
