Van The Little Brown Hen Hears the Song of the Nightingale & The Golden Harvest Produced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Little Brown Hen Hears the Song of the Nightingale & The Golden Harvest" by Jasmine Stone Van Dresser is a collection of two fables written in the early 20th century. The book presents moral lessons through charming narratives about a hen's perceptive awareness and a little apple tree's journey toward blossoming, emphasizing themes of patience and listening to the inner beauty of life. With its simple prose and illustrations, it appeals to young readers and offers valuable insights into personal growth and understanding. In "The Little Brown Hen Hears the Song of the Nightingale," the narrative centers around a barnyard where the animals are forced to mimic the gander's 'honk' instead of communicating in their natural sounds. This results in chaos until the little brown hen discovers the melodious song of the nightingale and emphasizes the importance of listening rather than conforming to the loud and boisterous. In the second tale, "The Golden Harvest," the little apple tree, initially feeling inadequate because her apples are small and green compared to the larger trees, ultimately learns her value when her fruit ripens later in the season, becoming the sweetest harvest. Both stories illustrate that true wisdom and worth lie in self-acceptance and discovering one’s unique gifts. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 77.1 (7th grade).
