Once upon a time in the early middle ages, there was a dimwitted emperor
who was trying to find a butterfly. That's when he came upon an unmarried
mother."Can you tell me where in the kingdom I can find a butterfly?" he
asked the mother. The mother did not have to think at all. "I do not know"
said the mother. The emperor considered the mother's answer. Then he
asked her to marry him, and she accepted. Later in the evening while he was
conversing with his lover, the emperor had a stroke of insight: Much
treasured is he who is known for his cart, for he also masters his ideas. And
he knew that his life was nothing to brag about.

Once upon a time in ancient Atlantis, there was a lonesome shepherd who was born and raised in a small village. One day, a gnome came to see him, and said "good day, kind shepherd, where can I find a dog?" The shepherd quickly answered "I do not know of a dog for I am but a shepherd." "Why are you so reluctant towards me?" asked the gnome. "That is because I want you as a servant." "a servant?" asked the gnome. "Yes indeed. A servant" replied the shepherd. After some thinking the gnome decided to become a servant to the shepherd, and when he came home later that evening he killed himself.
