Oscar the Ostrich

Oscar the Ostrich has a magnificent tail.
So as not to squash it at night he sleeps
with his head in the ground and his tail in the air.
One morning when he wakes up, he stretches
his neck and feels that his head doesn’t move,
Oscar stamps his feet, bends his knees,
wiggles his tail and pulls, and pulls and pulls…
but his head is trapped and it doesn’t move.
If he wants to be free he has no other alternative
but to ask for help.

Reminiscent of an old Russian story
by Alexei Tolstoy confirming that power resides
in association and team work.
