The trees we climb and the ground we walk on have given us five fingers and toes. The "place" (from the root plat, broad, spreading, flat) gave us far-seeing eyes, the streams and breezes gave us versatile tongues and whirly ears. The land gave us a stride, and the lake a dive. The amazement gave us our kind of mind." from"Practice of the Wild"
