This story is a little ridiculous. The king sets a trial between a donkey and a rock. The donkey knocked over a jar of oil as it was walking down the mountain carrying wood. The man who owned the oil wanted payment for his loss of oil and the other man said that it wasn't his fault, but the donkeys. The King being the smart man he is, set up this ridiculous trial to get everyone into the court room. Once everyone was in there, he asked them why they came to this trial and told everyone to give a half penny as they got out. The money went to the man who lost his oil. When retelling this story I could change the donkey to a self driving car and the rock to something else.
