The fat king under his umbrella offers useless advice to the workers. "You'll need the whole tree to plug that gap". Imagine a grossly fat, incompetent king under a parasol giving annoying advice to sweating workers who know what they're doing. (I always have trouble bringing up the "whole" primitive. This story reminds me how to build that part. ).
