Read the passage, then answer the question.
The king of Evermore had every possession his heart could desire. His enormous castle was coated in shimmering gold, and his clothes were sewn with sparkling jewels. His countless horses were a brilliant white, and his magnificently scented flowers bloomed all year. Yet the king was dissatisfied.
“Surely there’s more to obtain,” he stubbornly complained, commanding his men to travel vast distances in search of additional jewels, horses, flowers, and gold. “More!” he whined. “I want more!” Yet no matter what his men fetched for him, the king remained unfulfilled.
