About this listen

 The Little Red Hen, living on a farm with lazy Dog, Cat, and Cow, finds wheat seeds and decides to make bread. She asks for help with each step – planting, watering, harvesting, milling, kneading, and baking – but the others consistently refuse, saying, "Not I." The Little Red Hen diligently completes all the tasks herself, resulting in a delicious loaf of bread. When she asks who will help her eat it, Dog, Cat, and Cow eagerly volunteer. The Little Red Hen shares the bread, after which the animals who ate the bread complain that there is no more. After apologizing for not helping, the Little Red Hen asks how to make some more. The Little Red Hen agrees to teach them, provided they help. She shows them how to plant, water, harvest, mill, knead, and bake. They enjoy working together and make another loaf of bread. Having learned their lesson, Dog, Cat, and Cow offer the first slice to the Little Red Hen. From that day on, they baked bread together as a family, sharing the work and the rewards. The story emphasizes the importance of cooperation and contributing to shared goals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
