In olden times there lived a King, who was so cruel and unjust1 towards his subjects that he was always called The Tyrant. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that they might have a new king. One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them, — “My dear subjects, the days of my tyranny are over. Henceforth ou shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule henceforth justly and well.” The King kept his word so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King.
By and by one of his favorites came to him and said, —
“Your Majesty, I beg of you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards your
people?”
And the King replied, “As I was galloping through my forests one afternoon, I caught sight of a hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the
dog so badly that he would be lame5 for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw
a stone at him, which broke his leg. The man had not gone far when a horse kicked him and
broke his leg. And the horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and broke his leg. Here I came to my
senses, and resolved to change my rule. ‘For surely,’ I said to myself, ‘he who doeth evil will
sooner or later be overtaken by evil.’”

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows. no one could have seen it at the time, but the invention of beet sugar was not just a challenge to cane. it was a hint—just a glimpse, like a twist that comes about two thirds of the way through a movie—that the end of the age of sugar was in sight. for beet sugar showed that in order to create that perfect sweetness you did not need slaves, you did not need plantations, in fact you did not even need cane. beet sugar was a foreshadowing of what we have today: the age of science, in which sweetness is a product of chemistry, not whips. in 1854 only 11 percent of world sugar production came from beets. by 1899 the percentage had risen to about 65 percent. and beet sugar was just the first challenge to cane. by 1879 chemists discovered saccharine—a laboratory-created substance that is several hundred times sweeter than natural sugar. today the sweeteners used in the foods you eat may come from corn (high-fructose corn syrup), from fruit (fructose), or directly from the lab (for example, aspartame, invented in 1965, or sucralose—splenda—created in 1976). brazil is the land that imported more africans than any other to work on sugar plantations, and in brazil the soil is still perfect for sugar. cane grows in brazil today, but not always for sugar. instead, cane is often used to create ethanol, much as corn farmers in america now convert their harvest into fuel. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how does this passage support the claim that sugar was tied to the struggle for freedom? it shows that the invention of beet sugar created competition for cane sugar. it shows that technology had a role in changing how we sweeten our foods. it shows that the beet sugar trade provided jobs for formerly enslaved workers. it shows that sweeteners did not need to be the product of sugar plantations and slavery.
