The Little Red Hen

Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm. One day, she found some wheat seeds and decided to plant them. She asked her friends—the lazy dog, the sleepy cat, and the noisy duck—to help her plant the seeds.

So, the little red hen planted the seeds all by herself.
As the wheat grew tall, she asked her friends to help her harvest it.
“Not I,” said the dog.

“Not I,” said the duck.
So, the little red hen harvested the wheat all by herself.
Next, she asked her friends to help her grind the wheat into flour.

“I will,” said the dog.
“I will,” said the cat.
“I will,” said the duck.
“No,” said the little red hen. “You didn’t help me. I will eat it myself.”
Moral: If you don’t help, you don’t get to enjoy the rewards.
