Chicken Little VS. The Little Red Hen

Sometimes I get Chicken Little mixed up with the Little Red Hen. I know one thought the sky was falling after being hit on the head with something and caused all kinds of farmland follies. The other was the one that baked the bread and didn't get any help from the other animals. I'm not really sure why I get these two confused. Maybe because they both have 'little' in their names. Maybe because they're both chickens. Maybe because something gets eaten at the end of both stories. I'm not really sure why I care, but this is the kind of thing that leads to insomnia. Either way, I suppose both stories supply you with morals. #1 Don't listen to chickens spouting apocalyptic rhetoric, just assume they have a mild concussion. And #2 Always help chickens who are making a loaf of bread, because those fuckers are stingy.
