The meek, we are told, shall inherit the earth, but not however in the immediate future. And so at this point in time, and until further notice, the meek shall have the usual tough time. Today we shall tell you a little fable about the meek, and because it's a fable, it shall take place in a mythical kingdom. Therefore for your benefit, we have created one called the United Kingdom of Limbovania. Our hero is named Gerard, and he is a skilled jeweller. However he is very poor, and he's poor because he's a philosopher... It's late at night, and Gerard is alone at his work bench holding aloft a magnificent silver cup which he has just crafted.
