Fable Three
The Boiled Kagouti
t is said that if a kagouti steps into a boiling pool, he will leap out immediately to avoid harm.
²But if the kagouti is standing in a pool, and a wizard slowly raises the temperature, measure by measure, to boiling, the kagouti will calmly stand in place until he is boiled.
³Thus we see that we must be alert not only to the obvious danger, but also to the subtle degrees by which change may result in danger.
