Rhyme Scheme: AABCBDDEEFFGHHIJKJL| The mountain and the squirrel | A |
| Had a quarrel | A |
| And the former called the latter little prig | B |

| You are doubtless very big | B |
| But all sorts of things and weather | D |
| Must be taken in together | D |

| Talents differ all is well and wisely put | K |
| If I cannot carry forests on my back | J |
| Neither can you crack a nut | L |
