The Little Red Hen
Once upon a time, there lived a Little Red Hen. 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. "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 it was time to take the wheat to the mill. "Who will help me take this wheat to the mill?" she asked. The Pig said, "Not I!" The Cat said, "Not I!" The Dog said, "Not I!" So the Little Red Hen took it to the mill herself.
At last, the wheat was ground into flour. "Who will help me bake bread with this flour?" she asked. The Pig said, "Not I!" The Cat said, "Not I!" The Dog said, "Not I!" So the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself.
When the bread was fresh and warm, she asked, "Who will help me eat this bread?" "I will!" said the Pig. "I will!" said the Cat. "I will!" said the Dog. "No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will eat it myself!" And she did, all by herself.
