The poem tells the story of a hardworking hen who plants, harvests, and grinds wheat, but her lazy friends the cat, dog, and pig refuse to help. When the bread is finally baked, the hen asks who will eat it, and her friends all eagerly reply "I will!" But the hen tells them, "No, I will eat it myself, because you wouldn't help me bake it, so I'll chop you up for kindling wood!"
