Short Moral Story
A hen asks her friends to help plant, harvest and bake.
The little red hen found some grains of wheat and asked her friends who would help her plant them. ‘Not I,’ they all said.
She planted, harvested, ground and baked, asking for help at every step — and each time got the same answer.
When the warm bread was ready everyone wanted a slice. ‘No,’ said the hen. ‘I will eat it myself.’
