Ethical dilemmas

I saw Suzy from Pontithel walking down Castle Street the other day, dangling a drawknife from one hand.
She grinned when she saw me. "Yes, I know, it's an odd thing to be carrying about, isn't it? I lent it to some people at Primrose Farm, and I've just got it back. They were making a yurt, and they have some very strict environmental principles, so they wouldn't cut wood - it had to be found wood - and then the wood got woodworm, and because they're Buddhists, they didn't want to kill the woodworm, so they had to give up...."
