Sling shot (Photo credit: jbrownell)

There was a city who’s walls reached up 500 feet from the ground.  The stones used were of the strongest material known to man.  Within that city reigned a King who had in his control weapons which could decimate the strongest army that might dare advance against those walls.

One spring day such an army did arrive.  In their hands were brass swords and slings made of cat guts.  They made taunts toward the city with great bellowing pride in their voices.  They spoke to the people on the top of the wall and warned them that they would soon over throw the city.

How foolish would the people of that city be if they regarded those taunts as anything more than the meow of the cats they killed to string their pebbles?
