The Little Red Hen
By Traditional
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm. She found some wheat seeds and asked her friends, "Who will help me plant these seeds?"
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. And she did.
When the wheat grew, she asked, "Who will help me cut the wheat?"
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. And she did.
When the wheat was ready, she asked, "Who will help me make bread?"
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. And she did.
When the bread was ready, she asked, "Who will help me eat this bread?"
"I will," said the cat.
"I will," said the dog.
"I will," said the pig.
"No, you will not," said the little red hen. "I will eat it myself." And she did.
