Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.

Once upon a time, a lamb, a cat, a pig, and a little red hen lived on an old farm on a flowery hill
surrounded by fields of golden wheat. One day, the Little Red Hen found some grains of wheat scattered in
the barnyard. "Look what I've found!" she said to the other animals. "Who will help me plant these grains of
wheat?" "Not I!" said the lamb."Not I!" said the cat."Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. She knew that seeds need water to
grow tall and strong. "Who will help me water these seeds?" asked the Little Red Hen."Not I!" said the
lamb."Not I!" said the cat."Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen watered the soil
and waited patiently for the wheat to grow. When the wheat was tall and golden, she knew it was ready to be
cut. "Who will help me harvest the wheat?" asked the Little Red Hen."Not I!" said the lamb."Not I!" said the
cat."Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen's basket was soon
filled with wheat. "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour?" asked the Little Red
Hen."Not I!" said the lamb."Not I!" said the cat."Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The kind miller ground the wheat
into powdery, velvety flour, and the Little Red Hen carried it home in a rough brown sack. "Who will help
me make this flour into bread?" asked the Little Red Hen."Not I!" said the lamb."Not I!" said the cat."Not I!"
said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The Little Red Hen mixed the flour
into sticky dough and kneaded it into a smooth loaf. "Who will help me put this bread into the oven to bake?"
asked the Little Red Hen."Not I!" said the lamb."Not I!" said the cat."Not I!" said the pig.

"Then I'll do it myself," said the Little Red Hen. And so she did. The kitchen filled with the delicious
scent of baking bread, and the other animals came to see what was happening. The Little Red Hen took the
warm, crusty loaf out of the oven, and set it on the table. "Who will help me eat this fresh, tasty bread?" asked
the Little Red Hen.

"I will!" said the lamb."I will!" said the cat."I will!" said the pig."No, you will not," said the Little Red Hen.
"You didn't help me plant it, or water it, or harvest it, or mill it, or bake it. I shall eat it myself!" And so she
did.
