The Little Red Hen and the Lazy Dog

One day, the Little Red Hen found some seeds and decided to plant them. She worked hard every day, watering the plants, pulling out weeds, and making sure they grew strong. She asked the Lazy Dog to help, but the dog just lay in the sun and didn’t do anything. When the plants grew tall and ready to harvest, the Little Red Hen asked the dog to help her pick the crops. The dog still didn’t want to help. After the crops were picked, the Little Red Hen decided to bake bread with the wheat. Again, she asked the Lazy Dog to help, but the dog refused. Finally, when the bread was finished baking, the Little Red Hen asked the Lazy Dog if he wanted to eat. The dog said, “Yes!” But the Little Red Hen said, “I worked hard to plant, grow, and bake this bread. Now, I will eat it myself.”
