As You Like It Chapter One:

When France was divided into dukedoms, one of them was ruled by a usurper who had stolen the dukedom from his elder brother. The lawful Duke Gennai had been driven from his lands to the Digital Forest. Here the good duke lived with those who were his closest friends, for they had voluntarily put themselves into exile for his sake. This meant that lands and money enriched the false duke, Duke Piedmon. They soon grew used to the relaxed life they led here and found it pleasanter than the pomp and uneasy splendor of the court. Many young men from the court joined them and the time passed very pleasantly. In summer, they stretched out under the shade of the large forest trees, watching the wild deer play. They grew so fond of these silly dappled animals that they were sorry when they had to kill them for food. When the cold winds of winter made Duke Gennai feel this change of fortune, he put up with them patiently, saying, "These cold winds blow blowing my body are true counsellors. They do not flatter, but truly present my condition to me. Although they bite sharply, their tooth is nothing like so keen as that biting hurt of unkindness and ingratitude. Good use can be made of unfortunate circumstances." In this way the patient duke drew a useful moral from everything that he saw. In this life, remote from public places, he could find conversation in the sounds of trees, ideas in running water, and good in everything.
