 La Fontaine gives us the delightful fable of the acorn and the pumpkin. One day a man was walking through the woods praying and meditating on the goodness of God. He looked up and noticed a great big oak tree with a tiny acorn hanging from one of its branches. Then he looked down and saw a great big pumpkin growing at the end of a tiny little stem. In his mind, he protested the work of the Creator. He would have put the large pumpkin on the big tree and the little acorn on the tiny stem.
