rice upon a time There was a LittIe Red -
°ester who scratched about and tj(Kov.
eted some grains of wheat. He called his barnyard
neighbours mid said: "if,wft work together and plant
this wheat. We will have some fine bread to eat. Who
will help meplant the wheat?"
"Nbt 11, said the Cow, "Not .1", said the Duck.
"Not r, the Goose. "Then I 'said the Little
R'ed Rooster (male did.
After the wheat started growing, the ground
turned dry and there was no rain in sight. "Who will
help me water the wheat?" said the Little Red Roos-
ter.
"Not 1", said the Cow. "Not I", said the Pig.
"Equal rights", said the Goose. "Then I will", said the
Little Rea Rooster and he did.
The wheal grew tall and ripened into golden
grain. "Who will help me reap- the wheat?"., asked
the Little Red Rooster.
-Not I", said- the Cow. "Nat 1", said the. Duck. -
"Out of my classification", said the Pig. "Not 1", said
the Goose. "Then I will", said, the Little Red Rooster
and he did.
When it came time to grind the flour, "Not I",
said the Cow. "I'd lose my unempioyrnent insur-
anc e", said the Duck.
. When it carie time to bake the bread, "That's
Overtime for me", said the Cow. "I'm a dropoutand
never learned ho -w", said the Duck. 'Td lose my
welfale benefits", said the Pig. "If I'm th&only one
helping, that's discrimination', said the Goose.
"Then I wilt", said the Little Red Rooster and he
did. He baked five loaves of fine bread and held
them up for his neighbours to see. •
"I want some", said the Cow. "1 want some",
said the Duck. "I want some", said the Pig. "I
demand my share", said the Goose.
"No", said the Little Red Rooster. "I can rest
for iwhile and eatliwe loaves myself'.
"Excess profits", cried the Cow. "Capitalist
lee( n", screamed the Duck. "Company fink",
grunted the Pig. "Equal rights", screamed the
Goose. And. they hurriedly painted picket signs
and march6'd around the Little Red Rooster, sing-
ing, "We shaitovercome". And they did.
For when the Farmer came to .investigate the
ommotion, he said, "You must not begreedy,
Little RedRooster. Look at the oppressed
• Cow. Look at the disadvantaged Duck.
Look at the underprivileged Pig. Look at
the less fortunate Goose. You are guilty
of making second -class citizens of
them".
"But -but -but I earned the bread",
protested the Little Red Rooster.
"Exactly", the wise Farmer said.
" That is the wonderful free enterprise
system; anybody in the barnyard can
earn as much as he wants. You should
be happy to have all this freedom. In
other barnyards. you would have to give all
vour loaves to the Farmer. Here you givefour
loaves to your suffering neighbours".
,Ai id they lived happily ever after. Including
the little Red Rooster, who smiled and crowed,
'1 din grateful.1 am grateful".
Fut his neighbours wondered, why he never
baked any more bread.
