Once upon a time, there was a little red hen in a barnyard. She spent most of her time looking for worms, but one day she found a grain of wheat. She wanted to plant it, grow wheat, and make bread, but would any of the other animals help her?
Aon uair, bha Cearc Bheag Ruadh a’ fuireach ann an iothlann. Gu bhith fad na h-ùine, bha i a’ spaidsearachd mun cuairt an iothlainn a’ sireadh bhoiteagan. Aon latha, fhuair a’ Chearc Bheag Ruadh sìol cruithneachd. Bha i airson a chur, gus cruithneachd fhàsadh agus aran a dhèanamah, ach am biodh beathach sam bith eile ga cuideachadh?
