THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SQUIRREL.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 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."
