Yes - it's in a section entitiled "A Fuzzy Tale" (p. 107) from "Chapter
8 - Basic Training: Training in Lovelessness" in the book "Scripts
People Live" by Claude Steiner, 2nd ed., 1990 (ISBN 0-8021-3210-3).
Steiner uses it to illustrate the consequences of living scarcity
'scripts' in the midst of abundance. The story ends with the final
outcome yet to be determined...because of course it is up to *us* to
choose to live scarcity, or abundance, in the supply of "warm fuzzies"
(or whatever...).
This book, among others I could recommend, contains the sort of
fundamental information that is essential to understanding and
designing with/for the 'culture' aspect of 'permaculture' (which is the
most essential part, e.g. 'zone zero' or whatever one chooses to call
onself and one's relatings with other human beings in PC-speak).
