story 26 of the sun's babies by edith house this librivox recording is in the public domain on the hillside the sun shone gaily the skylark sang her morning song and the crickets chirped their merriest but the things that usually lived so peacefully on the hillside were quarreling it was the wind who began it as he lifted the pollen from one patch of grass flowers and carried it to the next he cried out boastingly what a friend i am to you tiny creatures if it were not for me you would bear no seed i am indeed useful i am sure nobody does so much good how absurd cried the bees anyone would think you did all the work of the world you certainly carry the grass pollen but think of the flowers whose pollen we carry what would the clover here do without us and the wild flowers and the flowers in the gardens and orchards all over the world we are certainly the most useful at this thousands of earthworms pop their heads above the ground if you are talking about usefulness don't forget us they said you see very little of us for we come out at night when most of you are asleep but think of all the work we do we burrow and burrow here in our millions plowing the ground day after day till every inches opened up to let in the sweet air and drain away the water from the surface how could the flowers and grasses live if we did not do this think how fine we keep the soil powdering it as we do in our burrowings and how rich we make it by dragging down decaying leaves into our holes every night the world would be a sorry place for everything that grows and lives if we did not work so hard we are surely more useful than anybody the grasses wave their flowered heads all that is true enough they said but nobody can possibly be more useful than we are think how we clothe the land and give food to hundreds of animals and shelter to millions of insects a little cloud sailed softly down onto the hilltop to listen what could any of you do without the clouds she asked you all depend on our reign for your lives you must confess you are less useful than we are

left the merry son fancy quarreling this fine morning now i will tell you and this will settle it once for all you are all useful and not one of you could be spared and not one of you could do well without the other everything helps everything else the worms help the grass and the grass feeds the worms the bees help the flowers and the flowers feed the bees the wind helps the clouds and the clouds become rain and help the wind in its work and i am here over you all and if it were not for me nothing could live so after all i am the most useful if i did not shine there would be no grass no worms no flowers no bees no wind and no clouds now go on with your work
