b. Wayne told them that their mission was to find out why Quill was added to the story of the stonecutter, which says that a stonecutter wished he was the sun so he could be powerful, and then he wished he were a cloud so he could be more powerful than the sun, and then he wished he were the wind so he could be more powerful than the cloud, then he wished he could be a mountain, so he could be more powerful than the wind, and then since he was a mountain he realized there was nothing more powerful than him, but then he looked down, and at his base…. He saw a stonecutter.
