Wolf. And I tell you it is a nest.
Goat. And I tell you it is a root. Surely it is a root!
Owl. Let me speak. I have lived among men, and I have seen many such things as this. It is a man's shoe.
Bear. What is a man?
Goat. What is a shoe?
Owl. A man is a thing with two legs. He can stand up like a monkey, he can walk like a bird, but he cannot fly. He can eat and talk, and he can do many things that we cannot do.
Beasts. O, no!
Birds. No, no!
Bear. How can that be? How can anything with two legs do more than we, who have four?
Birds. And this thing you call a man cannot be good for much if he cannot fly.
