Fu Han, the emperor of China’s languid pampered pug, had a colorful shiny ball and a tantalizing bone.
On the one paw, he yearned to engage in a game of catch with the bone, but he hesitated, fearing that exhaustion would hinder his enjoyment of the ball. On the other paw, a frolic with the bone risked diminishing the allure of the ball.
In the end Fu Han played with none and succumbed to the embrace of tedium.
