The Story of an Ostrich: An Allegory and Humorous Satire in Rhyme.

"The Story of an Ostrich: An Allegory and Humorous Satire in Rhyme" by I. J. Potter is a clever poetic satire from the early 1900s that uses wit and rhyme to reveal social truths. The story follows an ostrich that comically hates its own feet, foolishly attacking them without realizing how important they are. This ostrich later discovers that its feet are crucial, just like the head, representing how everyone in society depends on each other. The ostrich's experiences teach the importance of understanding yourself and respecting everyone's role, no matter how small it may seem. This book is a funny and smart way to think about working together and being united, showing that pride and ignorance can lead to comedic, yet insightful, downfalls.
