"The Cock, the Mouse, and the Little Red Hen: An Old Tale Retold" by Félicité Lefèvre is a children's story likely written in the early 20th century. This whimsical tale follows the unusual friendship among a cock, a mouse, and a little red hen living in a vibrant house on a hill. It delves into themes of teamwork, responsibility, and consequence through the interactions of its charming animal characters. In this engaging narrative, the cock and mouse are portrayed as lazy and unhelpful, while the industrious little red hen tirelessly attempts to manage their home. Their lives take a turn when a cunning fox and his mischievous cubs plot to capture them for dinner. As the fox succeeds in capturing all three animals, the red hen cleverly devises an escape plan by crafting a hole in the sack they are confined in. The story culminates with their successful return home, leading the cock and mouse to appreciate hard work and the value of cooperation, while they all live happily ever after, free from the threat of the fox.
