The Summary, Conclusion and Synopsis of the Little Red Hen (Narrative Story)

The little red hen lives in a house. With a dog, and a cat, and mouse, who unfortunately are all lazy. In fact, all they want to do is nap. Every day the little red hen asks for help, and every day she discovers that the dog, cat, and mouse are less than willing to put in their fair share of the housework. If the little red hen wants something done, she must do it herself. The little red hen does not complain, however, knowing that her hard work will pay off in the end. In the tale, the little red hen finds a grain of wheat, and asks for help from the other farmyard animals to plant it, but none of them volunteer. At each later stage (harvest, threshing, milling the wheat into flour, and baking the flour into bread), the hen again asks for help from the other animals, but again she gets no assistance. Finally, the hen has completed her task, and asks who will help her eat the bread. This time, all the previous non-participants eagerly volunteer. She declines their help, stating that no one aided her in the preparation work. Thus, the hen eats it with her chicks leaving none for anyone else.
