The Little Red HenReading Text
The Little Red Hen lives on a farm. She has three friends: a cat, a dog, and a horse. One day, she finds some raspberries. 'Let's make a cake!' she says. She asks her friends for help. 'Not me,' says the dog. 'I am too busy.' 'Not me,' says the cat. 'I am too tired.' The horse just watches TV. So, the Little Red Hen makes the cake all by herself. When the cake is ready, it smells delicious. Her friends want to eat it, but the hen says no. She eats the whole cake alone.
