[NOTE: The following sentence was cut due to concerns over believability. The editor involved ultimately decided that, despite the subtitle of the section being 'Absurdity', it was just too absurd to have a castle pulling itself out of a box, and subsequently, begging for change. Here is the sentence:

'The castle pulled itself up out of its box and went begging for change.'
