One sunny morning, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat. "Who will help me plant the wheat?" she asked. "Not I," said the Dog. "Not I," said the Cat. "Not I," said the Duck.
"Then I will do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And she did. She watered the wheat every day, and it grew tall and golden in the sun.
"Who will help me bake the bread?" she asked. "Not I," said the Dog, the Cat and the Duck. So the Little Red Hen baked a warm, soft loaf all by herself.
"Who will help me eat the bread?" "I will!" said the Dog, the Cat and the Duck. "You did not help," said the hen kindly. "Next time, let's work together, and then we can all share."
