The squirrel said to the mountain,You are surely 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 a 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 crack.Talents differ, all is well and wisely put.If I cannot carry forests on my back,Neither can you crack a nut.
