Question

Why did the mountain call thr squirrel "Little Prig"?

Answer 1

This poem is a dialogue between the mountain and the squirrel . The mountain is proud of its towering bigness and looks upon the squirrel.The squirrel justifies its existence.It says that God created this universe in a very orderly way after a good deal of thinking. All big or small , rich or poor have a distinct quality and a definite place. None is superior or inferior. None should be considered as weak or useless .
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.'
