== Story ==
* "Once upon a time... there was a dying old man..." 
* "...As he lay on his bed, dying... he called to each of his beloved children..." 
* "When each did hear his rasping call, they answered with a hollow longing!" 
* "So they came to his bedside one by one, and his firstborn knelt there, and the old man said, 'my child... my child... why be your eyes so dry?" 
* "And the firstborn said, 'So that I might be strong, father.' And so the old man gave to them the deeds for all his lands." 
* "To his second born, he said again, 'my child... my child... why be your eyes so dry?" 
* "And his second child said, 'I shed no tears, father, for I chose now to remember only the joy you made of my life.' And so unto him, the old man gave his family home." 
* "And when his last child had entered, he said again, 'my child, my child, you were my favorite of all. Why show you no feelings at all?" 
* "And the last child said to him. 'I feel nothing, for it was I... who has killed you."
