Ambos os ratos e sopa são proibidos

Do script de O conto de Despereaux :

When something hurts this much, there must be a reason. There must be someone to blame.

O narrador está dizendo que proibir ratos e sopa é tão tolo quanto tentar proibir qualquer outra coisa natural.

What happens when you make something illegal that is just a natural part of the world? You may as well make flies illegal, or sweat, or Monday morning.
But that's what the King did out of a terrible sadness.
