Anyway. Eventually some guy invented a machine that added stars to Sneetches. The ones without took it up and soon all the Sneetches had these stars on their bellies, right? So everyone was equal.
But the original star-bellied ones hated that the plain-bellies suddenly rose up to equal status. The guy made a machine that took stars away, so they did that, and started to claim the plain-bellies were the superior Sneetches. Which the new star-bellies didn't like.
It's kind of complicated and weird, but eventually the Sneetches kept switching between stars and plain bellies so often that they weren't sure who was an original star or an original plain. So they ended up being equal that way.
...There's a moral in there somewhere. Probably. [Pause] My world does that a lot for some reason.
