In "The Little Red Hen" by Simone Lia, a hardworking hen finds herself in need of help to plant wheat, but her lazy friends— a cat, a dog, and a pig—refuse to lend a paw. Undeterred, the hen decides to do the work herself. She plants, harvests, and bakes a delicious loaf of bread. When the bread is ready, her friends come back and want to share in the reward. However, the clever hen has learned a lesson about effort and responsibility, and she decides to enjoy the fruits of her labor all by herself. It's a charming tale about diligence and the rewards of hard work. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
