The warm smell of fresh bread fills the air, but the little red hen notices something odd—her friends are nowhere to be found when it's time to work. She plants the seeds, tends the wheat, and grinds the flour all by herself, feeling both tired and determined. Will her hard work be worth it when the golden bread is finally ready?
