Reader's Digest entitled this "Holding Action." In the Middle East there is a legend about a spindly little sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road. A horseman comes by and dismounts, and asks the sparrow what on earth he is doing there lying upside down like that. "I heard the heavens are going to fall today," said the sparrow. "Oh," said the horseman. "And I suppose your puny little legs can hold up the heavens?" "One does what one can," said the sparrow. "One does what one can." William A Jenkins in English Journal |
