One morning King Chezchuk, the biggest porker on the planet, demanded to be escorted on a trip through The Mayellan Forest. A dozen royal attendants lifted the king into his carriage, and the royal entourage made its way to the forest. After an hour of traveling, the king felt movement from the ground below and ordered the carriage stopped. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking out his window.

"Your majesty, the forest is sinking into the earth. There is too much weight in it," a royal attendant replied.

"Then the solution is simple," the king said. "Remove all the trees from the forest."
