The Little Red Hen is a classic tale about a hardworking hen who finds some wheat grains and decides to plant them. She asks her friends—a lazy dog, a slothful cat, and a sleepy duck—for their help, but they all refuse. Undeterred, the Little Red Hen does all the work herself, from planting to harvesting and baking bread. When the delicious bread is finally ready, the other animals want to partake in it, but the hen, remembering their lack of assistance, enjoys the bread all by herself. The story teaches the values of hard work, responsibility, and the consequences of not contributing. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

The Little Red Hen
The Little Red Hen finds some grains of wheat and asks the other animals if they will help her to plant them. They will not. Neither will they help her to cut the wheat, have it ground into flour or made into bread. But when the Little Red Hen asks if the animals would like to help her eat the bread they are all totally up for it. However, the Little Red Hen refuses to share her bread with the animals who didn’t do any of the work to make it.
