1) Little Red Hen finds wheat and wants to plant it to make flour for bread. However, none of the farm animals (dog, cat, cow, sheep, horse) will help with the planting or watering. 2) When the wheat is ready to harvest, again none of the animals will help Little Red Hen cut and take it to the mill. 3) Little Red Hen bakes the bread alone, and when it is ready the hungry animals want some but were not willing to help with the work. Little Red Hen and her chicks eat the bread themselves.
