A little red hen found a grain of wheat. "Who will help me plant this wheat?" she said. "I won't," said the dog. "I won't," said the cat. "I won't," said the pig. "Then I will do it alone," said the little red hen.

She planted the grain of wheat. Very soon the wheat began to grow and green leaves came up out of the ground. The sun shone and the rain fell and the wheat grew and grew until it was tall, strong and ripe.

"Who will help me eat this bread?" said the little red hen. "I will," said the dog. "I will," said the cat. "I will," said the pig. "I will!" said the little red hen. "I worked hard to make this bread and you did not help. Next time you can help me and then I will share the bread with you."

The proud little red hen ate up the whole loaf of bread. The sorry dog, the sad cat and the hungry pig went in search for grains of wheat to plant for the next loaf of bread.
