In "The Little Red Hen," a hardworking hen discovers some grains of wheat and decides to plant them. She asks her animal friends—a cat, a dog, and a duck—for help, but they all refuse to assist her. Undeterred, the little red hen plants, waters, and harvests the wheat on her own. When the time comes to bake bread, she asks for help once again, but her friends still do not lend a hand. After baking the bread herself, the little red hen enjoys the delicious reward, teaching a valuable lesson about hard work and the importance of contributing to shared tasks.

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.
