Once upon a time, there was a little red hen
who lived on a farm 
. She was friends with a lazy dog 
, a sleepy cat 
, and a noisy yellow duck 
.One day the little red hen
was told that all the farms in the land were on the verge of a pandemic, and her farm was forced to shut down. The little red hen had an idea. She would follow the advice of experts and institute testing protocols to help keep the farm open.
The little red hen asked her friends, "Who will help me do the testing?"
asked her friends, "Who will help me do the testing?"
"I can't be bothered," barked the lazy dog .
"You're not the boss of me," purred the sleepy cat.
"MAGA!" quacked the noisy yellow duck.
."You're not the boss of me," purred the sleepy cat
."MAGA!" quacked the noisy yellow duck

asked her friends, "Who will be really careful about where they go, self-quarantine, and generally try not to unnecessarily infect the other animals?"

asked her friends, "Who will reopen with me?"
"I can't taste anything," whimpered the lazy dog .
"I feel like crap," meowed the sleepy cat.
"COUGH COUGH COUGH," quacked the noisy yellow duck.
