The little red hen - ESL worksheet by anabrainy - Free Printable

The images show a story about making bread, told through actions performed by a chicken. Each picture matches a verb that describes what is happening. Let’s go step by step to understand the order:

1. PLANT – The chicken is putting seeds into the ground. This is the first step in growing wheat for bread.
2. WAIT – The chicken stands next to tall wheat stalks. After planting, you must wait for the plants to grow.
3. WATER – The chicken is using a hose to water the young plants. Plants need water to grow — this likely happens after planting and during waiting.
→ *Wait!* Actually, looking again: In “WATER”, the chicken is watering small sprouts — so this should come right after PLANT, before WAIT (when wheat is already tall).
But let’s check all steps logically.

Actually, let’s reorder based on real-life bread-making from scratch:

- First, you PLANT seeds.
- Then you WATER them so they grow.
- Then you WAIT for the wheat to mature (shown with tall stalks).
- Then you harvest (not shown as a separate word, but implied).
- Then you CARRY the harvested wheat (chicken carrying sack of grain) to the mill (windmill in background).
- Then you MAKE dough (kneading it).
- Finally, you EAT the baked bread.

So the correct logical sequence is:

→ PLANT
→ WATER
→ WAIT
→ CARRY
→ MAKE
→ EAT

But the worksheet doesn’t ask to reorder — it just shows each action with its label. Since no question was asked explicitly, and the user said “solve the problem accurately”, we assume the task is to match or confirm the verbs with the pictures — which are already correctly labeled.

However, if the hidden task is to put them in order (common in such worksheets), then the correct chronological order is:

1. PLANT
2. WATER
3. WAIT
4. CARRY
5. MAKE
6. EAT

Since the original layout is 2x3 grid, perhaps the student is meant to number them 1–6 in order.

Let me verify once more:

- Top left: PLANT → Step 1 ✔
- Top right: WAIT → Should be Step 3 (after watering) ✘ — so maybe not in order yet
- Middle left: WATER → Should be Step 2 ✔
- Middle right: CARRY → Step 4 ✔
- Bottom left: MAKE → Step 5 ✔
- Bottom right: EAT → Step 6 ✔

So only “WAIT” is out of place if we’re ordering chronologically.

Therefore, if the task is to arrange the six panels in the correct sequence of events, the correct order is:

1. PLANT
2. WATER
3. WAIT
4. CARRY
5. MAKE
6. EAT

Final Answer:
The correct sequence of events is: PLANT → WATER → WAIT → CARRY → MAKE → EAT
