"Let me teach you What you won't know. Let me show you What you won't ever see." Said the Bird to the Beetle "Let me bring you A piece of the Sky" The Beetle smiled politely And pondered so, then asked "Would you let me Let me teach you What I know? Let me show you What I see? Kindly would you Let me give you A piece of the Earth?" The Bird only snickered Coldly he answered "Why would I want the Earth When I can have the Sky? What value is dirt to flight?" "Without the Earth, my friend," The Beetle said wryly "You forget, we'd all Live on valueless flight."

The Bird & The Beetle
"Let me teach you What you won't know. Let me show you What you won't ever see." Said the Bird to the Beetle "Let me bring you A piece of the Sky" The Beetle smiled politely And pondered so, then asked "Would you let me Let me teach you What I know? Let me show you What I see? Kindly would you Let me give you A piece of the Earth?" The Bird only snickered Coldly he answered "Why would I want the Earth When I can have the Sky? What value is dirt to flight?" "Without the Earth, my friend," The Beetle said wryly "You forget, we'd all Live on valueless flight."
Childish, I know but I still see that Bird's high-held head and that Beetle's wry smile . . .
