Grimm's Fairy Tales #8

Here is another Grimm's Fairy Tale entitled 'The Death of the Little Hen'. This is the story that could be about being greedy for the little hen did not want to share a nut with a friend. The friend did try help by trying to fetch some water, but when he went to ask everyone wanted something. The friend was too late to save the little hen, and she died. The friend cried for his friend so loudly that other animals came, and they built a carriage and helped him take the little hen to be buried. They came to a stream and to figure a way to cross. They all tried to help but in the end the friend was alone to bury the little hen and cried till he died. This could be a lesson on learning about death and coping and how one copes with a death of a friend. It did seem that the other animals wanted to help, but could their real reason be for helping the friend. Please share your thoughts and it will be greatly appreciated.
