BR 2-18: The Little Red Hen

I read a book "The Little Red Hen" today. This book is also one of Usborne First Reading. I'll talk about the story simply. The little red hen found some grains of wheat and she tried to grow wheat by it. She needs some helps to do it, so she asked her friends to help her, but her friends didn't help her because they thought that these helps seemed to be hard. She worked very hard by herself. The great wheat grew for her efforts. She made nice bread by the wheat. When the bread made, she asked her friends to help her eat the bread. Her friends tried to help her only eating. When she saw it, she ate up by herself.

When I read this book, I thought that it is natural for the little red hen to eat up. The little red hen's friends didn't help her when she asked them to help for hard work. In spite of it, it is silly to try to eat good bread. I want to give bread to such friends, too. But I have a question. The little red hen asked her friends to help to eat bread. Rather than eat by herself, she had not ask it from the beginning. I thought that nothing get to me without working hard.
