Some rules need no author, as not all poetry needs a poet to pen it, but pours out the anonymous wits and cravings and perversions of mankind. Economy, politics, law and order... these are the limericks of science.
Known also as Denomille in Molehill, a Tale of Valor and Wisdom
- The ancient legend retold in prose.
- The celebrated hero is called upon by Weaver the Older to help settle a conflict between the natives and a band of besiegers demanding entry into the city. Indifference and entitlement are to encounter a third party, not nearly as nuanced. This new player is merely monstrous.
- The events are retold faithfully, though scholars dispute the intentionality of the comedy in the original. In the ancient world, humor often overlapped with revelation.
One eats produce. One throws away the leftovers and the leftovers are eaten by rats. But you cannot throw away the excess nobles, nor do rats grow big enough to eat them. Aristocracy accumulates. Regions to govern do not. That leads to war.
