One day, long ago, an airship bumped into a whale gleefully floating about the sky.

“Oh, pardon me” said the whale.

“What… What are you doing up here? Whales don’t fly” replied the captain.

With that the whale ceased floating about and plummeted to the ground.

And, that is why, because one forced their beliefs on another’s reality, whales no longer fly to this day.
