Imagine you live in a small cave, together with a growing dragon. You have a supply of food, with some left over.

This arrangement originally worked well. You ate well, and had enough to keep the dragon fed.

Your cave-mate over time, grew. As it did, so did the dragon’s appetite.

Then about 20 years ago, you began giving more of your food to the dragon. Even when you were hungry.

Now, the dragon expects to be fed. You notice you have less to eat, each day...

I think this is exactly what ‘The Little House of Horrors’ was about. You must see the movie.
