She envied the starlings and their vantage point, dancing above the earth. The overseers.
She envied the whales and their knowledge of the oceans, diving to depths she would never know. The discoverers.
She envied the cheetahs and the way they seemed to play with time, sprinting across the ground at impossible speeds. The athletes.
She envied the elephants and their gentle strength, forming circles around their young. The protectors.
The starlings, the whales, the cheetahs and the elephants envied the people for the power of their imaginations and the art they could create with it. The humans.
