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 yearAnd a sphere,And I think it no disgrace To occupy my placeIf I'm not so large as you, You are not 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.'
