A knight once went to a Dragon in search of what all knight's desired. The dragon, while sitting atop his treasure, told the knight quite dully that coins and gems bring as much fame and fortune as a desert brings rain.
"Of course they bring fame and fortune," the knight cried. "Lands, servants, and castles I could buy with a fraction of your wealth."
"Lands, servants, and castles I could buy - it's true," The dragon admitted. "However, it also buys assassins, thieves, and wayward knights free of charge. 'Tis better to live modest, enjoy the fortune you have, especially if it involves the most valuable thing of all."
"And what might that be," asked the knight, curious of this mystical treasure.
"A sturdy door of course, with a lock and key!"
