Little Red Hen

Description

The Little Red Hen is a classic folk tale about a hardworking hen who finds some grains of wheat. She asks for help from the other farm animals to plant the wheat, but none of them are willing to assist. Throughout the process of growing the wheat, harvesting it, milling it into flour, and baking it into bread, the Little Red Hen repeatedly asks for help, but each time, the other animals refuse. Finally, when the bread is baked and ready to eat, the other animals are eager to help her eat it. However, the Little Red Hen decides to eat the bread with her chicks, as they were the only ones who helped her with the work. The moral of the story is that those who do not contribute to the work do not get to share in the rewards.
