One day a big red hen is playing with her chickens in the garden. After some time, she wants to eat something and she takes out her chickens to look for food.

After a few months, they get a lot of wheat. She says to her chickens, “Who will take the wheat to the store to get some flour(面粉)?” But they don’t want to do it. So she takes the wheat to the store and brings the flour home.

Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
