Fairy tale?

Once upon a time there was a kingdom—a vast kingdom that stretched from sea to shining sea. A tiny village in the vast kingdom decided to build a castle in their tiny village. Instead of searching the vast kingdom for the best castle-builders in the kingdom, the tiny village decided to pick their friends to build the castle. Villagers from the tiny village went to all of the other villages in the vast kingdom to collect money to build their castle--even though most people in the other villages in the vast kingdom would never even see, much less use, the tiny village’s castle.

When the castle was almost done, the tiny village discovered that the castle had been built all wrong. Villagers from the tiny village went to all of the other villages in the vast kingdom to collect money to fix the castle, even though the other villages in the vast kingdom had nothing to do with building the tiny village’s castle--that was built by the tiny village’s friends, and that was all messed up. In fact, many of the other villages in the vast kingdom had craftsmen who could have built the castle correctly for far less money than the tiny village spent on their messed-up castle.

Villagers from all of the other villages in the vast kingdom paid to fix the tiny village’s messed-up castle, and their children paid, and their grandchildren paid, unhappily ever after.   The end.
