The mountain mocks at the squirrel by calling it a ‘little prig’. The squirrel in reply does not hesitate to point out that the mountain may be very large, but all sorts of things are important in Nature. As the squirrel is very small living being, it does not feel disgrace to occupy its place for existence because the squirrel thinks, each and everything in this world has a unique place and each has a different task to perform. As a squirrel can’t carry a forest on its back, a mountain can’t crack a nut as a squirrel.
