Fable
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's 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

Talents differ: all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."

Let Hope Light Your Way
by Norman Vincent Peale
