Knee-high Man

Once there was a man called Knee-High Man. He wanted to be tall like others he knew.

So, he asked Brother Horse. Horse said, "Run and eat corn." So, Knee-High Man did what Horse said, but it didn't work out well.

Then he asked Brother Bull, who told him, "Eat grass and learn to bellow." So, Knee-High Man did what Bull said, but it didn't work out either.

Next, he asked the wise Owl. Knee-High Man explained how much he wanted to be taller. Owl said, "Why do you want to be taller? Do you want to see further? Are people picking on you? Or do you want to carry heavey stuff?" Knee-Hight Man said, "No! No! No!" Owl said, "Then you don't need to be big. All that matters is to be big in the brain and think." Knee-High Man thought and got smarter.

------------------------------------

I learned that being big in the brain is better than a sizable body because you'll be wise, clever, and smart. Being big in the body doesn't help you get smart, clever or wise. So, I think being smarter is the best way to be.
