THE QUARREL
One morning Tom’s right foot said to Tom’s left foot, “Let me go first.”
“No,” said Tom’s left foot, “you let me go first.”
“No,” said Tom’s right foot, “you let me go first.”
And they began all over again.
Suddenly Tom’s left ear remarked to Tom’s right ear, “Perhaps, the silly things will set out together.”
“The very thing to do,” cried both feet, and they started off. This left Tom without a leg to stand on. So he fell down and bruised them both.
They were black and blue for three whole days.
