How were the animals rewarded for their hard labor?

Please provide me with more context! I need to know what story or situation you're referring to in order to answer your question about how animals were rewarded.

For example, tell me:

* What kind of animals are we talking about? (e.g., farm animals, zoo animals, wild animals, etc.)

* What kind of labor did they perform? (e.g., pulling a cart, carrying loads, working on a farm, etc.)

* What is the setting? (e.g., a fable, a historical event, a fictional story, etc.)

Once you give me more details, I can help you figure out how the animals were rewarded.
