In "Little Red Hen," a hardworking hen discovers some wheat grains and decides to plant them. She seeks help from her lazy friends—a cat, a dog, and a duck—but they all refuse to assist her with the planting, growing, or harvesting of the wheat. Undeterred, she does all the work herself and eventually bakes a delicious loaf of bread from her harvest. When the freshly baked bread is ready, her friends—full of curiosity and appetite—ask to share it, but the Little Red Hen, remembering their earlier refusal to help, decides to enjoy the fruits of her labor 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.
