I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen
This old nursery rhyme is called “I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen” — enjoy your reading!
“I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,
She washed me the dishes, and kept the house clean:
She went to the mill to fetch me some flour;
She brought it home in less than an hour;
She baked me my bread, she brew'd me my ale,
She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.”
