The Analogy of Cake; A Story About "Diamonds In The Rough"

The Diamonds in the Ruff

There was once a prominent figure; Doberman. Who was Doberman? Doberman was the name given to a mysterious figure who was named so due to political reasons. The situation became critical. Essentially, "Doberman" was a code name for a Russian wartime troop who tried to engage with Russia in war with Canada. One day, a depression sank in, filling the whole entire country of America. Then some people became desperate, and soon enough there were boats travelling between Alaska and Russia. Some of these boats were piloted by drug smugglers from the South, who became desperate to redistribute goods before the ice bridge between the continents froze up again. And when it did, Doberman was left with practically nothing. As a result, Doberman decided to live a primitive lifestyle in a shack in Saskatchewan. Then one day, a glimmer of light (as one might call it) decided to manifest itself to Doberman. A neighbor was coming around, and threw cake at Doberman. This was not just any cake, however; this cake was taken from the former town of Munchausen, which was once occupied by Germans. On it read, "It is a great day, today". This cake was a symbol of the time the Germans took over the capital of Canada, and renamed it Munchausen, and so the Germans created the cake for the occasion. Doberman's pride in eating the cake would soon be overtaken by jealousy; for the cake would soon seem to disappear into thin air, and there would only be pieces of cake left over, scattered across the ground. Or, as some would call it, the "floor". Soon enough, some roosters would come over, brought here from the Germans. The Russians lived pretty well in and around the capital of Canada, which was now renamed Krasnobinsk. However, Doberman had to live an extremely primitive lifestyle, despite the fact that he was honored, very well respected, and appreciated by the Russian authority. And the reason for why he was given the cake from well over a thousand miles away, was just that...he was seen as a hero. And still, the people in authority, including his comrades, basically betrayed him, by making him live simply. Simply because he was dubbed an "outsider", since he resided more than 100 miles away from the capital (or, as the locals would say, everyone more than 100 miles away from the capital were "of course"). This caused Doberman to become jealous. However, he could not move any closer to Krasnobinsk, due to the fact that the journey could be extremely dangerous. And so again there Doberman was, the cake reduced to mere crumbs on the ground. He could not eat anymore, for fear of becoming sick. After all, he could not eat crumbs that were scattered all over the ground. So to clean things up, the roosters would eat the crumbs. This just made Doberman jealous. So he decided that enough was enough. And so he decided to treat the soil as if it were cat litter. So he dug the crumbs up, so that he would not feel jealous that someone else is taking away his sustenance. Now, we are left with an intriguing question; What does this whole joke symbolize? Can you come up with a meaning that it could contain? Ideas or comments please leave some signs that you thought about this a little bit
