In "The Little Red Hen" by Paul Galdone, a hardworking hen discovers some wheat grains and decides to plant them. She asks for help from her animal friends—a lazy dog, a sleepy cat, and a selfish duck—but they all refuse to lend a hand. Undeterred, the Little Red Hen plants the wheat, harvests it, grinds it into flour, and bakes bread all by herself. When the delicious bread is ready, her friends suddenly become eager to partake. However, the Little Red Hen teaches them a valuable lesson about the importance of hard work and cooperation by enjoying the bread all alone.

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.
