The cure for this ill is not to sit still,
Or frowst with a book by the fire;
But to take a large hoe and a shovel also,
And dig till you gently perspire.
From “Just So Stories”, by Rudyard Kipling
1902, many years before Dr. Seuss.
A good reminder to those sedentary prone kiddies, like me.
Available in the Open Library. Thanks Caren!
