"Ay, sir; the other squirrel [lap-dog] was stolen from me by the hangman's boys in the market-place: 
and then I offered her mine own, who is a dog as big as ten of yours, and therefore the gift the greater."
William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act IV, Scene 4 [Launce delivers Crab as love gift.]

"A gluttonous Pig was feeding beneath a lofty Oak tree, upon the fallen acorns. Even while he ate one 
acorn, he was already casting a greedy eye upon another. "Ungrateful beast!" at length exclaimed the Oak, 
"you fatten yourself upon my fruit without bestowing a single thought of gratitude upon the source of it. 
The Pig, interrupting his feeding for a moment, grunted in reply: "My grateful regards should not be wanting, 
if only I could feel sure that you had let your acorns fall on my account."
[Ein gefräßiges Schwein mästete sich, unter einer hohen Eiche, mit der herabgefallenen Frucht. 
Indem es die eine Eichel zerbiss, verschluckte es bereits eine andere mit dem Auge. "Undankbares Vieh !", 
rief endlich der Eichbaum herab, "du nährest dich von meinen Früchten, ohne einen einzigen dankbaren 
Blick auf mich in die Höhe zu richten." Das Schwein hielt einen Augenblick inne und grunzte zur Antwort : 
"Meine dankbaren Blicke sollten nicht außenbleiben, wenn ich nur wüsste, dass du deine Eicheln meinetwegen 
hät­test fallen lassen."]
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Fables (Fabeln), Book I, No. 15, trans. G. Moir Bussey, 1759.

Grey Wardens stole Ferelden. Bethany becomes responder in ultimatum game: she can accept rape & wed Alistair.

"General results concerning the relationship of the strategic and the competitive equilibrium have not been derived 
so far... In such cases, when the equilibrium concepts are in competition with one another, the problem of comparing 
and evaluating the conflicting equilibrium concepts emerges. This is the issue that is at the heart."

Backward Induction Appears Through the Backdoor, Tilburg University, 2000 [as game end closer, proposers drop].
