The Story of the Little Red Hen 

Once upon a time, a lamb, a cat, a pig, and a little red hen lived on an old farm. One day, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat in the barnyard. "Look what I've found!" she said to the other animals. "Who will help me plant these grains of wheat?"

"Not I!" said the lamb. "Not I!" said the cat. "Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. She knew that seeds need water to grow tall. "Who will help me water these seeds?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"Not I!" said the lamb. "Not I!" said the cat. "Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen watered the soil and waited. When the wheat was tall, she knew it was ready to be cut. "Who will help me harvest the wheat?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"Not I!" said the lamb. "Not I!" said the cat. "Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen's basket was soon filled with wheat. "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"Not I!" said the lamb. ”Not I!" said the cat. ”Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The miller ground the wheat into flour, and the Little Red Hen carried it home in a sack. "Who will help me make this flour into bread?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"Not I!" said the lamb. "Not I!" said the cat. "Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen mixed the flour into dough. "Who will help me put this bread into the oven to bake?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"Not I!" said the lamb. "Not I!" said the cat. "Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The kitchen filled with the delicious scent of baking bread, and the other animals came to see what was happening. The Little Red Hen took the loaf out of the oven. "Who will help me eat this fresh bread?" asked the Little Red Hen.

"I will!" said the lamb. ”I will!" said the cat. "I will!" said the pig.

"No, you will not," said the Little Red Hen. "You didn't help me plant it, or water it, or harvest it, or mill it, or bake it. I shall eat it myself!" And so she did.

"Oh me!" said the lamb. "Oh my!" said the cat. "Oh me, oh my!" said the pig.

The next time the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat, the lamb planted it in the  soil, the cat watered it every day, and the pig harvested the wheat when it had grown tall. When the dough was baked, together the animals ate the fresh, warm bread. It was delicious! The animals lived happily ever after, cooperating and helping every day.

In 'The Story of the Little Red Hen,' what pattern do you notice in how the other animals respond when first asked to help?

• They all say 'I will!'

• They all say 'Not I!'

• They all stay quiet.

• They all run away
