The Little Red Hen
Once there was a Little Red Hen. She found a grain of wheat. She asked her friends, 'Who will help me plant this wheat?' The Pig said, 'Not I!' The Cat said, 'Not I!' The Dog said, 'Not I!' So the Little Red Hen planted the wheat all by herself. When the wheat grew tall, she asked, 'Who will help me cut this wheat?' The Pig said, 'Not I!' The Cat said, 'Not I!' The Dog said, 'Not I!' So the Little Red Hen cut the wheat all by herself. Then she made the wheat into flour and baked a delicious cake. She asked, 'Who will help me eat this cake?' The Pig said, 'I will!' The Cat said, 'I will!' The Dog said, 'I will!' But the Little Red Hen said, 'No! I will eat it myself!' And she did!
