enough to make it wet. Then it goes into the first part of its stomach, where it becomes softer.
From there it goes into the second part, where it is made into little balls called “cuds”. Later,
while the cow is resting, she brings up each cud one at a time and chews it well. When she
swallows it, the food goes into the third part of her stomach. There the water squeezed out of
it. Finally, the food goes to the fourth part of the cow’s stomach and is broken down into very

The Mountain and The Squirrel by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 The mountain and the squirrel had a quarrel, And the former called the latter "Little
prig.
Bun replied, "You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be
taken in together.To make up a year and a sphere. And I think it no disgrace to occupy my
place.
If I'm not so large as you, You are not so small as I, And not half so spry: I'll not deny you
make A very pretty squirrel track. Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry
forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut."
