Read the poem and answer the questions that follow:
The mountain and the squirrel
Head 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 year
And a sphere.
And i 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'II not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track;
Talents differ, all is well and wisely put;
If i cannot carry forest on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut.
