Something To Hmmmm About

There are instances in nature that imitate the nature of some humans.
Tis sad but true that...

a mocking bird makes fun of another bird who sings more beautifully

a thorn pricks until it draws blood, but cannot injure the rose

a moth thinks he's classier than a pupa, until the butterfly emerges

a dog chews on a bone but he never gets to enjoy the meat
