I met a little Elf-man, once, <br />Down where the lillies blow. <br />I asked him why he was so small, <br />And why he didn't grow. <br /> <br />He slightly frowned, and with his eye <br />He looked me through and through. <br />'I'm just as big for me,' said he, <br />'As you are big for you.'<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-elf/
