I recently re-discovered this only mildly tongue-in-cheek analysis of a children's tv and book series from my youth:

"Consider the one in which King Rollo makes his wizard turn the peasant's lunch into all kinds of exotic and delicious food, only for the peasant to insist that he was happy with his simple rustic loaf of bread. What other interpretation can there be of this parable, other than that the redistribution of wealth neither benefits the prudent rural working man nor is desired by him, whatever the educated intelligensia may suppose?"

I still stand by that. Shameless monarchist apologia, I tell you.
