shutter finds humor in the "fable of the trees" (judges 9). abimelech maneuvered to have himself proclaimed king in shechem, but jotham believed he was unfit to rule and the people foolish to accept him. jotham contrives a satire. "the trees went forth to anoint a king over them. they said to the olive tree, 'reign over us.' but the olive tree answered, ‘should i give up my oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, to hold sway over the trees?’ next, the trees said to the fig tree, ‘come and be our king.’ but the fig tree replied, ‘should i give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?’ then the trees said to the vine, ‘come and be our king.’ but the vine answered, 'should i give up my wine, which cheers both gods and humans, to hold sway over the trees?' finally all the trees said to the thornbush, 'come and be our king'. the thornbush said to the trees, 'if you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of lebanon!'" then jotham left "for in that day, as in every subsequent age, there was no room for a satirist in the kingdom of an incompetent ruler".
