Edith's parable

[edit]

I came to this from a quote which probably should go to Wikiquote. Shyamal (talk) 09:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

‘No!’ said the paving-stone.
‘Please!’ pleaded the fungus roots.
‘I can’t be disturbed’ said the paving-stone.
‘Sorry!’ said the fungus roots.‘Be quiet’ said the paving-stone.
‘But we’re alive!’ said the fungus roots
‘What’s that?’ growled the paving-stone.
‘We must grow, make way please’ cried the fungus roots
‘Nonsense’ said the paving-stone.
‘What can you do? - weak soft things like you! 
Here I am at the top and here I stay. 
It is an excellent arrangement. 
Be content and don’t push. You make me very uncomfortable’ said the paving-stone.
‘We are in the great plan of things as well as you, and we must push.’ said the funguses. 

And it is on record that they moved the paving-stone.’”
