A cute children's story about a conceited hen.Henrietta Hen thought highly of herself. Not only did she consider herself a "speckled beauty" (her own words) but she had a rather grand opinion of her own ways, her own ideas-even of her own belongings.We are reminded that it takes strength to humble ourselves.
