Once upon a time, there was a class of commoners in a kingdom who wanted to overthrow their king. They decided to build a battering ram and a catapult to help them keep the kingdom. The farmer of the class suggested using his cats as ammunition for the catapult. So they trained the cats to sit in the catapult, and when they launched them, they knocked down the castle walls. The king surrendered and the commoners became the new rulers of the kingdom with their feline army as their loyal protectors. The end.
