The town on the hill
was blessed with a
great light.
The poor
the lame
the weak
from the
surrounding villages
saw the light
but could not go up
the hill
to experience the light.
They shouted up to
the town
to bring the light
down the hill
and to their villages.
But the town said,
"No. There are too many technical issues.
Will the darkness swallow up the light?
Will we lose some (or all!) of the light
if we give it away?
What can you give us in
exchange for the light?
We will have to examine this
in much further detail
before we do anything."
