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 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.”
