Milk explains a lot

It was a small village. The mayor had an accident with a bull and declared all large animals should be outlawed. A short while later, the shortage of all kinds of milk became intolerable to the villagers. But, because the mayor was really, really big and mean, they had to find an alternative - so they began milking hamsters.
Ok, it wasn't easy, but it could be done with little tiny hands and fingers. A revered caste of people with small hands grew up that began to make unreasonable demands. There was one that thought his small hands gave him power on high to do whatever he wanted, and worse, he could never be wrong. He moved to the USA and began to make his huge mark with his tiny hands.
But, on the other hand, hamster milk is wonderful.
