==Ralph Waldo Emerson's ''Fable'' ==
 +
[[Ralph Waldo Emerson]]'s ''Fable'' is as follows:<ref>https://poets.org/poem/fable</ref>
 +
 +
The mountain and the squirrel 
 +
<br>Had a quarrel; 
 +
<br>And the former called the latter ‘Little Prig.’
 +
<br>Bun replied, 
 +
<br>‘You are doubtless very big;       
 +
<br>But all sorts of things and weather 
 +
<br>Must be taken in together, 
 +
<br>To make up a year 
 +
<br>And a sphere. 
 +
<br>And I think it no disgrace 
 +
<br>To occupy my place. 
 +
<br>If I'm not so large as you, 
 +
<br>You are not so small as I, 
 +
<br>And not half so spry. 
 +
<br>I'll not deny you make 
 +
<br>A very pretty squirrel track; 
 +
<br>Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; 
 +
<br>If I cannot carry forests on my back, 
 +
<br>Neither can you crack a nut.’
