The Little Red Hen

There once was a farm having many animals, the smallest of which, was a little red hen.

One day, while she was pecking at the ground, she discovered some leftover wheat grains that the farmer had left behind. She knew that the wheat could be planted, and then made into delicious fresh bread.
So she went to the pigsty, where the pig was eating from a bucket of slop. 
“Uh, Excuse me, cluck, cluck, I need someone to help me plant this wheat,” said the little red hen.
“Oink Oink, Not I,” said the pig, as he went back to his slop.
So the little red hen went outside, and found the cat, lying in the sun and playing with a ball of yarn.
“Uh Cluck Cluck, will you help me plant this wheat?” said the little red hen.
“Meow,” said the cat. “Not I. Can’t you see that I’m busy? Meow.”
The little red hen was frustrated, but she did not give up. She walked all the way out to the pond, where the duck was lazing around in the cool water.
“Cluck cluck, will you help me plant this wheat?” said the little red hen.
“Quack, quack, Not I. Maybe I will help you later, when I am finished with my swim,” said the duck.
“Cluck cluck, then I will do it myself,” said the little red hen.
So the little red hen went off on her own, out to the field, and found a nice spot to plant the wheat. 
Soon, when the wheat had grown tall and golden yellow, the hen became excited to make bread from it. But first, she had to harvest it.
“Cluck, who will help me cut the wheat?” asked the little red hen.
“Not I,” oinked the pig, who was lying in some mud.
“Not I,” meowed the cat, who was taking a catnap.
“Not I,” quacked the duck, as he waddled back to the pond.
“Cluck Cluck, then I will do it myself,” said the little red hen.
Once the wheat had been ground into flour, the little red hen knew it was time to bake the bread.
“Cluck, who will help me bake the bread?” she asked, although she already predicted what the answer would be.
“Not I,” oinked the pig.
“Not I,” meowed the cat.
“Not I,” quacked the duck.
“Cluck cluck, then I will do it myself,” said the little red hen.
 
So she made the flour into a loaf of bread, and put it into the oven. Soon, as the bread become hot and soft, the air filled with the sweet smell of freshly baked bread. The pig and the cat and the duck all came running into the farm
 
“Uh, who will help me eat this bread? Cluck! Who will help me eat this bread?” said the little red hen.
“I will!” oinked the pig.
“I will!” meowed the cat.
“I will!” quacked the duck.
“Cluck cluck, well,” said the hen, “Did you help me plant the wheat, and did you help me harvest the wheat, and did you help me mill the wheat, and did you help me bake the bread?”
The other animals all shook their heads no.
“Then I will eat the bread myself,” said the little red hen. And, she did.
