Competing for Power

February 21st 2007 18:42

The eyebrow, the nose, and the mouth are the four wonderful senses. One day, the mouth says to the nose, "What is so great of you that you may reside above me?" , "I can distinguish the good smell and the bad smell, therefore allowing you to eat food. For that, i reside above you!" said the nose.

The nose then asked to the eyes, "What is your greatness that you may reside above me?", "I know what is beauty, what is ugly and everything that is there to be seen, for that of course i should reside above you!" said the eyes.
Then the eyes asked the eyebrows, why should it reside above all of them... "I may not be good arguing with you, but if i reside below the eyes and the nose, i really can't imagine what would this face become!", replied the eyebrows.
Soon after saying so, the eyebrows moved itselves below the eyes and the nose.
Terribly terrible...The face is does not like a face at all anymore. At last, when the eyebrows had returned to the top, the eyes, the nose, and the mouth was very grateful.
