A priest asked: What is Fate, Master? And he answered: It is that
which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence. It is that
which men in former times had to bear upon their backs. It is that
which has caused nations to build byways from City to City upon which
carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built
to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness. And that is Fate? said
the priest. Fate ... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master.
That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight
was too.
