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 as 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 track.
Talents differ; all's well and wisely put.
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."
Remember that even if your body is very little, you have a function to discharge in this world, which the big body cannot perform. Then why look down upon yourself? Be cheerful and happy. --Swami Rama
