The mouse gestured up at the night sky. There, the moon was a million times brighter than the tiny stars around it. The mouse said, “King Lion, you are the moon, and your silly advisors are the stars.” The lion gazed up and considered this statement. Perhaps the mouse was right. But how could the moon teach the stars their place?

The best response is: It helps clarify what role King Lion holds in the culture.
