Lafontaine Gland Citrouille

tale:lafontaine_gland_citrouille

(Le Gland et la Citrouille) A countryman thinks God blundered to hang tiny acorns on mighty oaks and great pumpkins on slender vines; dozing beneath an oak, he is woken by a falling acorn on his nose, and reflects that had it been a pumpkin he would have fared far worse. Moral: the design of things is wiser than our second-guessing. — Jean de La Fontaine
