Question

On a sunny day, Mother Hen is playing with her chickens on the grass. Later, they are hungry, so Mother Hen takes her children out to look for food. She finds a grain of wheat(麦子). So she asks her children to plant it in the garden. But none of her children wants to do it. Mother Hen has to do it herself.

A few months later, they get a lot of wheat. She asks her children, “Who would you like to take the wheat to the shop and get some flour?” But her children don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the shop and brings the flour home.

After getting home, she asks, “Who will make some bread with the flour?” They all say, “We are not free”.

When she makes the bread, she says to her chickens, “Who wants to eat the bread?”

“I will,” they all say.

“No, you can’t. You don’t want to do anything before I make the bread. You must know ‘No pains, no gains(不劳而获).’” She doesn’t give any bread to her children and she eats the bread herself.

试题分析：一位母亲—海伦发现了麦子她想让她的孩子们在花园里种植，但没一个人愿意。收获麦子的时候，问自己的孩子是否愿拿着麦子去商店换些面粉，仍然没人愿意，所以海伦妈妈自己去了。等把面粉换回来做面包时，问孩子是否做面包时，孩子说我们不是免费做的。当面包做好时，问谁想吃的时候，所有人都举手了，但是妈妈没有给任何一个孩子面包。因为天下没有免费的午餐，没有劳动就没有收获。
