Summary: "The Little Red Hen" by Florence White Williams is a children's folk tale retold and illustrated in the early 20th century. This book narrates the story of a diligent hen who, despite the reluctance of her barnyard friends, undertakes the labor of planting, harvesting, and baking bread. The moral centers around the value of hard work and the consequences of laziness, making it an engaging read for young audiences and a useful teaching tool for imparting lessons about responsibility and teamwork. In the tale, the Little Red Hen discovers a wheat seed and decides to plant it. 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.)
