N ever will I understand Such a disorder in Nature!... N o matter where you look, M aple trees everywhere!” (A Pumpkin in a garden was venting his discontent.) “ Take the W alnut for instance, W hat a silly picture: H ow can H E compare him self to M E , He is just a tiny pea! Y et w hy Is H E growing so high, W hile giant pumpkins just like me G row on such Ridiculously thin little vines? ...” On and on the pumpkin kept complaining, Restlessly turning round and round First on one side. .. Then on his other side. .. Finally he climbed the tree trunk And all summer long he lived like in a summer cottage Delighted to bathe in the hot sun, And when Autumn came He fell heavily to the ground (most likely because the branch could no longer hold his weight) and he split open. There is no moral to this fable, I don’t want envious people mad at me. Mykhailo Khyzhko (19 18- ) Ukrains’ka Baika. Kyiv: Dnipro (1983): 440-441. Helene N.
