"Say, what IS that thing
That dares to be higher than Yertle the King?
I shall not allow it. I'll go higher still!" (Yertle.78-80)

And that's our final lesson about power, Shmoopers, No matter how much of it you get, there's always someone (or something) that's got more of it. And it doesn't last anyway, right? How powerful, exactly, is Hitler now? Aha.
