I would say the moral of the tale is more like "Don't call up powers
that you can't control" to me, Robin, sort of "Die Geister, die ich
rief, die werd' ich nicht mehr los" (from the Goethe original of
Dukas/Walt Disney's *Sorcerer's Apprentice* in *Fantasia*), related to
the story from the *1001 Nights* where opening the bottle to release the
Djinn unleashes the latter's fury. Nothing happens to the builder, of
course, because he doesn't believe in voodoo.
