引言：
禀赋迥异，万物各就其位；
倘若我不能将森林背负，你也无法将坚果打破。
The mountain and the squirrel
——Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Mountain and the Squirrel
Had a quarrel;
And the Mountain called the Squirrel '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
Think it 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
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.
