Synopsis

In this classic tale, the industrious Little Red Hen discovers some wheat and decides to make bread. She asks her friends—the goose, the cat, and the pig—for help at each stage: planting, harvesting, milling, and baking. Each time, they refuse, leaving her to do all the work herself. When the delicious bread is ready, the friends eagerly offer to help eat it, but the Little Red Hen decides to enjoy the fruits of her labour alone, teaching a valuable lesson about hard work and cooperation.
