“Not I,” said the pig.
“Then I will. Who will help me make the dessert?”
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the pig.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. “Who will help me set the table?”
“Not I,” said the dog.

“Not I,” said the pig.
“Then I will,” said the Little Red Hen. “Who will help the chicks eat the cake?”
“I will,” said the dog.
“I will,” said the cat.
“I will,” said the pig.
“No, you can eat the crumbs.”
