Synopsis

The Little Red Hen discovers some grains of wheat and decides to plant them. She asks her friends—the duck, the goose, and the turkey—for help, but they all decline, claiming to be too busy. Undeterred, she plants, harvests, mills the wheat into flour, and bakes a delicious loaf of bread all by herself. When the enticing aroma fills the air, her friends eagerly offer to help eat the bread. However, the Little Red Hen reminds them of their earlier refusals and enjoys the bread with her chicks, teaching a valuable lesson about the rewards of hard work and cooperation.
