However the other animals who refused to help in her cause. She had no reason to share with those who did not contribute to that cause. It only says she consumed it herself, it doesn't say she didn't give to the poor and needy. The story is a model for a specific point. Everyone is going to ask to contribute to something some day. People better understand that saying "whoa is me" after the fact is foolish. I am an independent business owner and nature of my business is to invite people to be a part of a much larger and prosperous organization. I expect in the next few years people who turned it down (without researching it at all I might add, those who do their research join) I expect to say things like "they were lucky" or "they are rich and should give that money away" or any number of silly things. For them I will suggest they read about the "Little Red Hen". You are right we need to be careful that the models we follow are from Christ. Thanks for bringing that insight to the table.
