00:00Welcome to Fabulous Fables. Should you share the fruits of your labor with friends who refuse to
00:05help you? Let's find out. Once upon a time on a quiet and peaceful farm, there lived a little
00:12red hen who had three friends. The cow, the pig, and the dog. In the springtime, the hen worked
00:19hard every day to grow vegetables and flowers in her garden. Her friends, however, did nothing but
00:25bask and play in the sun all day. One morning, the little red hen found some wheat seeds on the
00:30ground. Feeling delighted, she hurried back to the farm to show them to her friends.
00:36Who wants to help me plant these wheat seeds so we can make fresh bread? She asked excitedly.
00:43Moo! Moo! Not I, the cow said. Oink! Oink! Not I, the pig said. Woof! Woof! Not I, the dog
00:54said.
00:54All right, I will plant them myself then. The hen muttered in disappointment. So,
01:01she dug a few holes in the ground, dropped the seeds into them, and covered them with soil.
01:08In summer, the wheat grew tall and emitted a golden glow in the radiant sun.
01:13It's now ready for harvest. Anyone interested in helping me cut the wheat? The little red hen
01:20asked her friends. Moo! Moo! Not I, the cow said. Oink! Oink! Not I, the pig said. Woof! Woof! Not
01:32I,
01:33the dog said. Well then, I'll just cut the wheat myself, the hen said. Then, she took a sickle from
01:41the barn and cut the barn and cut the stalks of wheat. Soon, autumn arrived. The weather began to
01:49get cooler, and the leaves turned into beautiful shades of red, orange, and gold. Who wants to help
01:56me bring the wheat to the mill so we can have flour for making bread? The little red hen asked
02:02her
02:02friends. Moo! Moo! Not I, the cow replied. Oink! Oink! Not I, the pig said. Woof! Not I, the dog
02:13said.
02:14Okay then, I'll bring the wheat to the mill myself, the hen said. And so, she used a wheelbarrow to
02:22transport the wheat to the mill. When she arrived, the miller turned the wheat into flour, and she
02:28returned home with a big bag of flour. In winter, a blanket of snow covered the farm, and temperatures
02:36dropped below freezing. Who will help me bake some bread? The little red hen asked her friends.
02:43Moo! Moo! Not I, the cow said. Oink! Oink! Not I, the pig said. Woof! Woof! Not I, the dog
02:55said.
02:55Then I'll bake the bread myself. Then I'll bake the bread myself, the hen said. So, she mixed the flour
03:01with water, kneaded the dough, and placed it in the oven. When the bread was done, the little red hen
03:08asked her friends. Who wants to help me eat the bread? Moo! I will, the cow replied eagerly. Oink! I
03:17will,
03:17the pig said. Woof! I will, the dog said. However, the hen said, no, no, no. I planted the wheat
03:27seeds
03:27myself. I cut the wheat myself. I took the wheat to the mill myself. I brought the flour home myself.
03:35And I baked the bread myself. Now, I'll eat the bread myself. And so she did. And it was the
03:42most
03:42delicious bread she had ever eaten. The moral of the little red hen is that hard work and
03:49responsibility bring success. While laziness leads to failure. Never be lazy, kiddos. If you like this
