[Quick links] [Pause] There is an interesting story in the ancient Indian mythology. Apparently, there was a wicked King by name Bali. God wanted to minimize his menace to mankind. So, God took the form of a dwarf – Vamana and approached the king asking for 3 foot holds of land.  The king thought – “Afterall a dwarf! How much land he can lay his foot on?” So, he agreed to give him that much land.
