ר' יוחנן ור"א דאמרי תרוייהו משל למלך ב"ו שאמר לעבדיו בנו לי פלטירין גדולין על האשפה הלכו ובנו לו אין רצונו של מלך להזכיר שם אשפה:

Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Eliezer both say, "[It can be explained through an] allegory to a king of flesh and blood, who said to his servants, 'Build for me great palaces on this garbage heap.' They went and built it for him. It is not the king's will that they mention [that there was] garbage there."
