Throughout the process of growing the wheat, the cat, pig, and rat refuse to help her with any tasks, such as planting, cutting, or threshing the wheat. Despite their indifference, the hen perseveres, taking on all the responsibilities herself. When the bread is finally baked, the same creatures who had previously declined to assist eagerly ask to eat it. However, the Little Red Hen proudly claims the fruits of her labor, teaching a valuable lesson about reaping rewards only from one’s efforts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
