if, like an ostrich, i stick my head in the sand, will you ask the clouds to shade my feet?

I will cover you with an umbrella in case it rains because you won't be able to see the clouds come and you won't be able to go inside.
I would also tell you to get your head out of the sand and face life. It's kind of cool to look at sometimes.

Was it important to shade your feet, shading your head would be much important to shading your feet ....why in the first place you stick your head in the sand ??Are you running away from troubles or are you too disheartened to face the world .....actually i dun know why ostrich stick his head into the sand, why does he do that ??

if i recall correctly, which is always in doubt....., the ostrich sticks its head in the sand in order not to be aware of what is going on around it.

if i am upside down because i am sticking my head in the sand, at the minimum, i will have sunburned feet. i pay a price.

it is not unusual for us to look away rather than face things we do not want to see. there are stories about this throughout the ages.

if you saw me do this, would you join me? would you do what you could to protect my feet.....in other words, keep me from paying a high price. and if so, why?

I would not protect your feet, i will rather let it be sunburnt....but i want to pull your head out of the sand ....becos i dun like your behaviour ....in order to do that i need to dig somewhere where your head is stick into ...to get around to you....but i dun know will i do that if i am another ostrich....i hope there is a way out for ostrich ....since he could run so fast ....well....maybe becos being the fastest and always winning ....they need to be more able ....and be aware of the happenings instead of sticking his head into the sand ....:)

m, yes, i won't be able to see the clouds. i would miss so much if my head were in the sand. and no, i won't be able to go inside; i will be stuck.

s.s., yes, since an ostrich can run, why stick its head in the sand?

why ask the clouds what I could do for you? Of course no system is perfect despite the good intentions. Loki's wife waits with a bowl over bound loki to catch the venom that drips on his face. She does this without pause or rest, but sometimes she does need to empty the bowl and as loki shakes so does the earth.
