The Little Red Hen

Once upon a time, there was a Little Red Hen. She lived on a farm with a lazy dog, a sleepy cat, and a noisy duck. One day, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat. "Who will help me plant this 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.

Soon the wheat grew tall and golden. "Who will help me cut this 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.

After the wheat was cut, she asked, "Who will help me take this wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?" "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.

When the flour was ready, she asked, "Who will help me bake a cake with this flour?" "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 baked a delicious cake. "Who will help me eat this cake?" she asked. "I will!" said the dog. "I will!" said the cat. "I will!" said the duck. "No, you won't!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will eat it myself!" And she did.
