The Little Girl Who Would Not Work, by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, the author believes that the work often encourages children to grow up. In the story the mothers want the little girl to work: “You are old enough to do some work, little daughter,” she said, “Even when you are a tiny girl you can learn to be busy” (Bailey 1). We can see that the mother wants the little girl to work and not play. And the little girl wants to play and not work: “‘Oh mother I don’t like to work please let me go to the woods and play just a little while before do my task’’’ (Bailey 1). We can see the little girl doesn’t like to work. To sum up, the little girl who would not work , that works in the end of the story.
