Fable by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Mountain And The Squirrel
Had a quarrel;
And the former called
the latter "Little Prig."
Bun replied,
"You are doubtless
very big;
But all sorts of things
and weather
Must be taken in
together
To make up a year
And a sphere.
And I think it's no
disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not so large as
you,
You are not so small as
I,
And not half so spry.
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel
track;
Talents differ: all is
well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry
forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a
nut."
