"The Little Red Hen" is a traditional children's story about a hardworking hen who finds some wheat seeds. She decides to plant them and asks her friends, including a cat, a dog, and a duck, for help. However, they all refuse to assist her with the planting, watering, and harvesting. When the time comes to bake bread from the harvested wheat, the Little Red Hen does all the work herself. After the bread is ready, she offers it to her friends, who now want to share in the reward. The Little Red Hen, however, decides to enjoy the bread by herself, teaching a lesson about the importance of hard work and cooperation.
