Once upon a time, Little Red Hen lived on

a farm with a dog, a pig, and a cow.

Little Red Hen worked hard every day to

grow plants in her garden.

The dog, the pig, and the cow did nothing but sleep all day in the warm sun and watch

Little Red Hen work in her garden.

One day, Little Red Hen found a grain of

wheat. 

“Who will help me plant this wheat so that

we can eat fresh bread?” she said.

“Not I,” said the dog.

“Not I,” said the pig.

“Not I,” said the cow.

“I will plant it myself then,” said Little Red

Hen, and she planted the grain of wheat.

Little Red Hen took good care of her wheat,

but the dog, the pig, and the cow said they were too tired to help. 

By the end of the summer, the wheat grew

very tall. It was time to cut the wheat and take

it to the mill.

“Who will help me cut the wheat and take

it to the mill so that we can have fresh bread?”

“Not I,” said the dog.

“Not I,” said the pig.

“Not I,” said the cow. 

“Well then, I will take it to the mill myself,”

said Little Red Hen, and she cut the wheat and

set off for the mill.

After the miller made wheat into soft flour, she came back to the farm and asked, “Who will help me bake the bread?”
