On the last day of summer, ten hours before fall ...
My grandfather took me out to the Wall.
For a while he stood silent.
Then finally he said, with a very sad shake of his very
old head,
"As you know, on this side of the Wall we are Yooks.
On the far other side of this Wall live the Zooks."
Then my grandfather said, "It’s high time that you knew
Of the terribly horrible thing that Zooks do.
In every Zook house and in every Zook town
Every Zook eats his bread with the butter side
down!"
So begins another brilliant commentary on the Human Condition by the unrivaled king of the nonsensical, Dr. Seuss. The story is about two adjacent villages who are feuding because of a difference of opinion that defies logic. Dr. Seuss portrays their preposterous plight (and ours as well in today’s strife-torn world) in his unique zany style that is guaranteed to leave you laughing and crying at the same time!
