Free Will (1)

"Let me tell you a legend about God," Morgo said. "In the beginning he created an egg, a huge egg, with a creature inside it. God tried to break the eggshell open to let the creature - the original living creature - out. He couldn't. But the creature which He had made had a sharp beak, constructed for just such a task, and it chipped its way out of the egg. And hence - all living creatures have free will, now."
