Counting Beans

Related and yet related just came up my mind -
Little Prince visits the asteroid that is inhabited by the Businessman. This guy is constantly busy counting the stars he thinks he owns. He wishes to use them to buy more stars. The Prince then goes on to define property. The Prince owns the flower and volcanoes on his planet because he cares for them and they care for him. Because one cannot maintain the stars, he argues, the Businessman cannot own them...
