The Negus and the Caucasian

There was once a great and powerful Negus, who ruled over the entire world. He spied his kingdom, and came upon a Caucasian man, one day. So, pretending to be among the poor of the kingdom, the Negus invited the Caucasian to eat fruit, so the Caucasian did. And the Negus, feigning to be a friend, but truly hated the Caucasians, for they were inferior he thought, offered him an apple. So, the Caucasian cheerfully took the apple, being a cheerful fella, and knowing a thousand things, ate the apple from the bottom, with the entire core. The Negus curled his lips, and his brow scrunched, and he became furious. But would not show it. So, he left, and soon, decreed in his kingdom that an apple must be eaten from the sides, and no other law could do. For, his cohorts ran rampant, and rummaged the streets, and broke the houses, and set fire to the barns and wagons. They hunted the Caucasians, for theirs was the former empire. And they hunted, and then the Negus found the man whom he saw at first, and took him before his throne, with his royal scepter. And he said, "Take this apple, and if you eat it from the bottom, I shall kill you." The Caucasian shrugged, and said, "You do with power what we did, and worse." So he took the apple, and ate it from the bottom. He was put on the rack, and tortured for three weeks. And he died. But, he laughed while he died, saying "So it will be with you, with the Negus as emperor, for no law save one is his, and that is to eat an apple from the side." And the Caucasian spat.
