There was a king whose very own brother unsuccessfully tried to kill him. As punishment, the king imprisoned his brother in a room with a window facing the sea. The room had a normal-sized door that a normal-sized person could walk through. They must have built the room around the guy though, because the king's brother was not normal-sized at all- he was very overweight.
But the real punishment wasn't being confined to a cell. For in reality the brother could leave whenever he wanted to. All he had to do was lose enough weight to fit through the door. But the kings servants brought large platters of food to the brother everyday. And that was the sentence- overcome his addiction or die in that cell.
And he did die in that cell.
Just as the king knew he would.
