The Little Red Hen, Herself

The Little Red Hen lived in a nice cozy house. Her kitchen had been remodeled 3 years before and now Hen was always baking in it. Today she was going to make Bread. She liked to use Wheat flour when she baked, so she pulled out her wheat grinder and bucket of wheat. The she got out her phone and called up Pig.
"Hello Pig, how are you today?"
"Oh Hen, I just heard of a new Sloppy Joe's ever! Would you like the recipe?"
" No thank you. I prefer Corn Bread. Would you like to come help me grind wheat? I am making bread today."
"Uh... no thank you. I am going on a picnic. Bye!"
So Hen called Duck. But her was going to check out the new diving board at the pond. Goose was going to over to see her neighbors new hatchlings, and Cat going fishing.
"Very well." said Hen. "I will grind the wheat myself."
When she had been grinding about five minutes, she noticed that the wheat wasn't being ground anymore! Oh no, thought Hen. What will I do? I do hope my grinder isn't breaking! Hen stopped her grinder and took out all the wheat. She took off the top and peered inside. Aha! The little cup under the lid had fallen off and was buried in flour. That must be it!she put the cup back on and began grinding again. A couple minutes later the same thing happened. Over and over. Hen was getting very irritated. She just needed a few more cups of flour, and then she could make the dough!
Hen emailed the company which fixed grinders to ask about the problem. A few minutes later she received a response.

Check the passageways for blockage of flour. You may have a big piece blocking the flow of flour.

Hen found in her search that a foam replacement she had recently ordered was to large so she trimmed it and finished grinding.
