In this delightful tale, the kind-hearted Red Hen is known for her sewing skills, mending clothes for all the woodland creatures.

But Red Hen, ever resourceful, uses her sewing kit to escape, leaving a heavy stone in her place. When Sly Fox drops the sack into boiling water, he gets an unexpected surprise!
