Seriously?\\xa0 Yes, seriously.\\xa0 Steve recorded the 1918 version of the folktale "The Little Red Hen."\\xa0 The source says it\'s English, Wikipedia says it\'s Russian.\\xa0 For July 4th, we\'re calling it American.\\xa0 Steve found out that his kids had never heard this story about self-reliance, DIY and independence, and he thinks there\'s some kind of conspiracy afoot.\\xa0 So here it is, in hopes that no child in the podcasting community will miss out on this simple story about doing all the work yourself and reaping the benefits.\\xa0

Happy Independence Day!\\xa0

BTW, there are multiple formats of the story at Project Gutenberg.
