==Plot==
Mrs Cackle finds some grains of corn and decides to plant them. She asks for help from Peter Pig, Donald Duck, Clarabelle Cow, and Horace Horsecollar, all of whom claim to be too "busy". Thus, it is left up to Mrs Cackle and her kids to plant and harvest the corn on their own. When Mrs Cackle makes muffins, cookies, and cakes out of the corn, will the lazy quartet get a chance to eat some of the snacks they didn't help make?

===Continuity===
*This comic is an adaptation of the cartoon The Wise Little Hen (1934), though there are some noted differences between the two.
**In the cartoon, the largest amount of Cackle Kids seen onscreen at one time seems to be 9, while only 5 Cackle Kids appear in the comic.
**Mrs Cackle only requests help from Peter Pig and Donald Duck in the cartoon. The comic has her also asking for help from Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar.
**The excuses employed by those who don't wish to help is different in each version. In the cartoon, Peter and Donald claim they have a bellyache. In the comic, Peter says he is too busy grunting, Donald says he is too busy quacking, Clarabelle says she is too busy mooing, and Horace says he is too busy neighing.
