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.

Centuries ago, in ancient Sweden, lived a lazy warrior who was walking around in the town square searching for salt. That was when he ran into a crooked, old hag."Dearest hag, wilt thou tell me where a lazy warrior like myself find salt?" he asked the hag. The hag closed her eyes as if in a trance. And then she said: "Go play with yourself." The warrior fondled the hag and continued his journey. The following night the warrior made a discovery to himself: we are each and everyone is all-knowing but we must still do our best. And then he died.
