When I was a very small girl, we sang a song in music class called "The Tragic Tale of Mr. Fly."

The Tragic Tale of Mr. Fly

I often shudder at some of those conservative "know your place" morals in kids' stories, and they were even more common when I was young back in the '60s. Fortunately there were plenty of "you can do anything" stories to counter them.

And I'm glad you learned to fly. :-)

What a terrible moral. blah. It basically says, know your place and never dream. double blah.

Between songs like these and Mother Goose tales, it's no wonder the entire human race has self-esteem issues and psychosis...
