The Little Red Hen Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm with her friends: a dog, a cat, and a mouse. One day, the little red hen found some grains of wheat. She thought, "I should plant these seeds so we can have some bread." She asked her friends, "Who will help me plant the seeds?" The dog said, "Not I," and the cat said, "Not I," and the mouse said, "Not I." So, the little red hen planted the seeds all by herself. After a while, the seeds grew into tall stalks of wheat. The little red hen said, "Who will help me cut the wheat?" Again, the dog, the cat, and the mouse said, "Not I." So, the little red hen cut the wheat all by herself. Next, she asked, "Who will help me grind the wheat into flour?" The same response came from her friends, "Not I." The little red hen ground the wheat into flour all by herself. Then, she asked, "Who will help me make the bread?" Her friends, as before, said, "Not I." So, the little red hen made the bread all by herself.
