The Little Red Hen
Once there was a Little Red Hen who found a grain of wheat. "Who will help me plant this wheat?" she asked. The Pig, the Cat, and the Dog all said, "Not I!" So, the Little Red Hen planted it herself.
Later, when the wheat grew tall, she asked, "Who will help me cut this wheat?" The Pig, the Cat, and the Dog all said, "Not I!" So, the Little Red Hen cut it herself.
Then she asked, "Who will help me take this wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?" Again, the Pig, the Cat, and the Dog all said, "Not I!" So, the Little Red Hen took it to the mill herself.
Finally, she asked, "Who will help me bake this bread?" The Pig, the Cat, and the 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?" "I will!" said the Pig. "I will!" said the Cat. "I will!" said the Dog. But the Little Red Hen said, "No! I will eat it myself!" And she did.
