When I'm with only my sisters? I'm one of the girls. But ONLY then. When it comes to my siblings? I'm forever their big sister.

"Who will help me plant these seeds?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Horse "But I'm a workhorse, and I'm too busy moving carts around."

And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.

"Who will help me harvest the wheat?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Dog "But I'm a guarddog, and I'm too busy keeping away burglars and predators."

And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.

"Who will help me bake the flour?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Pig "But I'm a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I'm too busy taking care of my young."

And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.

"Who will help me eat the bread?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"We would." said the Farm Animals. "But we're ashamed, for we didn't do anything to make the bread."

"Nonsense!" said the Little Red Hen. "You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You've all helped me so much by simply being you."

"Besides," the Little Red Hen added. "I couldn't possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me."

After all originally all the animals said ‘not I’ indicating that they simply didn’t want to work and there a good reason behind it- they said I won’t not I can’t.

This version tells us that that the animals had good intentions and wanted to help but had other very important commitments they couldn’t leave to help out, thus teaching us that people want to help but are not always free to do so.

It says people are innately good at their core but life hands them bad cards they must deal.

Little Red Hen is someone who works hard and has learned the difference between takes (entitled) and takes (grateful).

Little Red Hen also gives her surplus bread not her all her bread. She says let’s share the bounty I have too much anyway!

She takes what she needs to sustain herself (self care goals) and shared the rest with her other hard working animals.
