Once upon a time there was a stonecutter. The stonecutter lived in a land where a life of privilege meant being powerful. Looking at his life he decided that he was unsatisfied with the way things were and so he set up to become the most powerful thing in the land.

Looking around his land he wondered to himself what it was to be powerful. Looking up he saw the sun shining down on all the land. "The sun must be the most powerful thing that there is, for it shines down on all things, and all things grow from its touch." So he became the sun.

Days later, as he shone his power down on the inhabitants of the land there came a cloud that passed beneath him obscuring his brilliance. Frustrated, he realized that the sun was not the most powerful thing in the land, if a simple cloud could interrupt his greatness. So, he became a cloud, in fact, he became the most powerful storm the world had ever seen. And so he blew his rain and lightening, and resounded with thunder all over the land, demonstrating that he was the most powerful. Until one day he came across a boulder.

Frustrated again, he realized that the storm was not the most powerful thing in the land; rather it must be the boulder. So he became the boulder. For days he sat, unmovable and impassive, demonstrating his power, until one day a stonecutter came and chiseled him to bits.
