"The Little Red Hen" is a classic children's story that follows the industrious little red hen who finds some grains of wheat. Determined to make bread, she asks her animal friends—a dog, a cat, and a mouse—for help in planting, harvesting, and baking. Each time, they decline to assist her with various excuses. Undeterred, the hen does all the work herself and ultimately bakes a delicious loaf of bread. When it's time to eat, her friends want to share in the reward, but the clever hen decides that since they didn’t help, they won’t get to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

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.
