            (cat, tail and curl are all Unix commands/utilities. cat concatenates files, tail prints the end of a file to the screen, and curl transfers data to or from a server)

                A long long time ago there was a Kingdom named Unix, which was rather small in the beginning. With the bigger ones already fortified, the people of Unix KISSed their new Kingdom to a brighter future. They learned quickly that all other Kingdoms had a fatal flaw, they were focusing way too much on the work they where doing but not on the tools they where using. So the people of Unix did exactly that - they made the best, most robust tools they could. They could use “Cat” to read any anything they wanted in an instant, but also “Tail” when the message was too long and they only wanted to read the end and “Curl” to send and recieve messages from the other Kingdoms. And so the Unix Kingdom had an ace up their sleeve, building an empire so big you can still feel the ripples today. While the Unix Kingdom itself has disappeared, it’s legacy has spawned the Android, Apple and Linux Kingdoms which house almost 70% of all the people today.
