The Little Red Hen

 The little red hen decided to plant some wheat, and said "Who will help me plant this?" A cat, a dog, and a duck said "Not me!" So he plant all by himself.

 Next, he had to cut the wheat. He said "Who will help me cut this?" Three animals said "Not me!" So he cut all by himself.

 Then he tried to bake the wheat into the bread. He said "Who will help me bake this into the bread?" Three animals said "Not me!" So he did it by himself.

 At last, he finished all and said "Who will eat this bread?" Three animals said "Me!" But the little red hen said"No! Because you didn't help. I will just have to eat this bread by myself."

 I think this story has very close meaning with a Japanese saying. "Those who do not work do not eat.'
