Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

"Why weren't there any flowers?”

"Because the pigs had eaten them all,” said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers.”

There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
