One day the king was feeling restless so he asked his oracle what he should do and was told he should go to a certain miner's house far from the castle, so off he went.
The miner asked the king - why should I work?
The king replied - to feed your family.
The miner replied - but I could feed them by hunting before you made it illegal.
The King - the kingdom needs your labour to protect your family from the enemy.
The miner - before you provoked the enemy we didn't need protection.
The king - anyway you have to work pay off your debts.
The miner - I wouldn't have any debts if you didn't tax me.
The king - that's the way it is. If you don't like it you can go. There plenty of other hungry men who would gladly take your place.
