Once, a king ordered three of his ministers to collect some fruits from a forest. He gave them a week and a gunny sack each to collect the fruits.
The first minister sincerely collected the best available fruits and filled the bag.
The second minister assumed that since the King was a very busy dude, he wouldn’t closely inspect the bag, they’re just fruits anyway. So to fill it up faster, he put whatever fruits he could get his hands on. Good and rotten both.
The third minister was shrewd and lazy, so he filled up with just a few fruits and mostly with dust and stones, assuming that the King had better things to do than to inspect a stupid bag.
They all returned a week later.
The king didn’t take one look at the bags, ordered the ministers to imprisoned, and declared that they could survive on whatever they brought from the forest, and would be released once their bags were empty.
The first minister survived like nothing happened.
The second minister developed severe health issues.
The third minister died.
So yeah, someday that rubber band will come back and smack us in the face.
