The little red hen thought that she would
Plant the wheat and it would be good
To ask her friends to help
Not I, said the dog
Not I, said the cat
Not I, said the duck
Not I, said the pig
Then I'll just have to do it myself
Soon the wheat had grown up tall
The time had come to cut it all
She asked her friends to help
Not I, said the dog
Not I, said the cat
Not I, said the duck
Not I, said the pig
Then I'll just have to do it myself
The wheat had to be ground into flour
She knew it would take many an hour
She asked her friends to help
Not I, said the dog
Not I, said the cat
Not I, said the duck
Not I, said the pig
Then I'll just have to do it myself
The next thing to do was bake the bread
Maybe her friends would like to be fed
She asked them all to help
Not I, said the dog
Not I, said the cat
Not I, said the duck
Not I, said the pig
Then I'll just have to do it myself
Soon the bread was ready to eat
Her friends all thought, we'll have a little treat
But the little hen shook her head
You did not help me plant the wheat
Or grind it into flour
So I think that I instead
Will eat up all this bread
That's how the story goes
The answer was four no's
No bread for the dog
No bread for the cat
No bread for the duck
No bread for the pig
Then she said, I'll eat it myself
And she did
