    Trying to remember a story I got at school 30 years ago. A hen, duck and rat were in the story, and I think it was to do with being helpful or it would come back to haunt you if you weren't. Any clues, links to said story please?

    		Once upon a time there was a little red hen. She lived on a pleasant farm and ate the food she grew there. One day the little red hen found a grain of wheat. She thought she would plant it to grow more grain for herself.

    Little Red Hen: Who will help me plant this grain of wheat?

    Duck: Not I, but I'll sell you some coffee bushes. You'll make lots of money if you grow coffee instead of wheat.

    Pig: Not I, but I'll buy the coffee from you when you've grown it.

    Rat: Not I, but I'll lend you the money you need to start it.

    Etc.
