BR 1-11: The Little Red Hen (Arengo, 2004)

"Go away and play!"

This is a story that a little red hen does all the work and gets the reward by itself. Though it found wheat seeds at first, none of the friends helped it plant them. Then it obliged to do all the work by itself. No one sought to help it. Finally, the hen made a lot of bread and it looked good. Although its friends never intended to help it before that, they tried to eat it. The hen said, 'You can't! Off you go! Go away and play!' and ate all the bread.

The story says that nobody knows what trials and tribulations the little red hen has seen and only a men has had a hard time himself can get the reward.
