The
harried hen scurried about her house, trying to put it in order. Some
friends she hadn't seen for years were due to arrive later that day, and
she wanted everything perfect for them. In a flurry, she made the bed,
put away the dishes, and scrubbed the floor. Oh dear, she thought in
dismay, I meant to wash the sheets today. Frantically, she flew back to
the bedroom and tore the sheets from the made bed.
Just
then, a neighbor arrived and stood at hen's door, watching her
anxiously rush about. "Dear hen," he said in a patient loving tone, for
he was quite fond of her, "You will never enjoy your visit if you
continue to race about. Come. Sit and rest and tell me of these friends.
Have you any snapshots?" The hen did as her neighbor had suggested, and
soon her friends arrived to find her relaxed, refreshed, and warm with
the memories of them.
What is my real work for the day?
