She asks her friends—the lazy dog, the sleepy cat, and the noisy duck—for help in planting the seeds, but they all refuse. Undeterred, the hen plants, waters, and harvests the wheat herself. When it comes time to bake the bread, her friends are eager to share in the delicious reward. However, the Little Red Hen reminds them that they didn’t help at all.

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.
