The Little Red Hen
Once upon a time, there was a Little Red Hen who lived on a farm. She found a grain of wheat. "Who will help me plant this wheat?" she asked. The Pig said, "Not I." The Cat said, "Not I." The Dog said, "Not I." So the Little Red Hen planted it herself.
Soon, the wheat grew tall and ripe. "Who will help me cut this wheat?" she asked. The Pig said, "Not I." The Cat said, "Not I." The Dog said, "Not I." So the Little Red Hen cut it herself. Then she asked, "Who will help me take this wheat to the mill?" Again, her friends said, "Not I." So she took it to the mill and had it ground into flour.
When she came back, she asked, "Who will help me bake bread with this flour?" The Pig, Cat, and Dog all said, "Not I." So the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself. When the bread was ready, she asked, "Who will help me eat this bread?" This time, the Pig said, "I will!" The Cat said, "I will!" And the Dog said, "I will!" But the Little Red Hen said, "No! I will eat it myself!" And she did.
