wanted to make bread with the grain of wheat she found. None of her friends
wanted to help, so she did it herself. Next, the little red hen asked her friends
to help her harvest the wheat. Again, none of her friends wanted to help so she
did it herself. Next, the hen asked her friends to carry the wheat to the mill,
and to no surprise, she did it herself. The hen mixed the bread alone and baked
the bread alone. When she asked the cat, duck and pig to help her eat the
bread, they all agreed to help. The hen told them no because they didn’t help
her make it. The hen shared her bread with her baby chicks as she cut them into
big, thick slices. They were all so happy.
