3. 0:14This is a story about a little red hen.
4. 0:19The little red hen lives on a farm.
5. 0:23She works hard all day long:
6. 0:27She pecks the ground.
7. 0:30She looks for worms.
8. 0:32She sits in a bush.
9. 0:35And sometimes… she lays an egg.
10. 0:41The little red hen has three friends:
11. 0:44A cat
12. 0:45A dog
13. 0:46And a horse.
14. 0:48These animals don’t work hard at all.
15. 0:52The cat likes to sleep in the sun.
16. 0:56The dog likes to sleep in the shade.
17. 0:59And the horse likes to watch TV all day long.
18. 1:06One day the little red hen sees a raspberry bush.
19. 1:12Raspberries!” she squeals.
20. 1:15“Yum yum yum! We can make a raspberry cake!”
21. 1:21The little red hen runs to tell her friends.
22. 1:25“Guys! There are raspberries over there!
23. 1:29We can make a raspberry cake!”
24. 1:33The dog drools. "Yes!"
25. 1:38The cat licks her lips. "Absolutely!"
26. 1:45The horse flicks his tail. "What a great idea!"
27. 1:52So… who wants to help me pick the raspberries?” asks the little red hen.
28. 1:59“Not me,” says the dog, “I’m too busy.”
29. 2:05“Not me,” says the cat, “I’m too tired.”
30. 2:11“Not me,” says the horse, “I’m watching TV.”
31. 2:18"Then I will do it myself,” says the little red hen.
32. 2:23So she picks the berries, one by one, all by herself.
33. 2:36"Ok, now we need flour, and sugar, and milk, and butter," says the little red hen.
34. 2:45“Who wants to help me get them?”
35. 2:48“Not me,” says the dog, “I’m too busy.”
36. 2:55“Not me,” says the cat, “I’m too tired.”
37. 3:01“Not me,” says the horse, “I’m watching TV.”
38. 3:10“Then I will do it myself,” says the little red hen.
39. 3:16She goes all the way to the pantry and gets the flour and the sugar.
40. 3:23She goes all the way to the fridge and gets the butter and the milk.
41. 3:30Then she puts everything together into a big bowl, all by herself.
42. 3:40“Who wants to help me mix the cake batter?” asks the little red hen.
43. 3:46“Not me,” says the dog, “I’m too busy.”
44. 3:53“Not me,” says the cat, “I’m too tired.”
45. 4:01“Not me,” says the horse, “I’m watching TV.”
46. 4:08“Then I will do it myself!” says the little red hen.
47. 4:14She mixes the batter until it is smooth and creamy.
48. 4:19Then she gently stirs through the raspberries.
49. 4:24She pours the batter into a cake tin.
50. 4:28Then she puts it in the oven. All by herself.
51. 4:33(Tick tock, tick tock)
52. 4:37Soon there is a delicious smell coming from the kitchen.
53. 4:42The dog can smell it.
54. 4:45The cat can smell it.
55. 4:48The horse can smell it too.
56. 4:51They all rush to the kitchen.
57. 4:55The little red hen takes the cake from the oven.
58. 4:59She puts it on a plate and sprinkles it with sugar.
59. 5:04“So… Who wants to help me eat this cake?” asks the little red hen.
60. 5:11“Me!” Says the dog.
61. 5:15“Me!” Says the cat.
62. 5:19“Me!” Says the horse.
63. 5:23“I don’t think so,” says the little red hen.
64. 5:28“You would not help me make this cake… so you will not help me eat it.”
65. 5:35She runs away with the cake and eats every last crumb.
66. 5:41All by herself.
