The Swan, the Pike, and the Crab
Whenever companions don't agree,
They work without accord
And naught but trouble doth result,
Although they all work hard.
One day a swan, a pike, a crab,
Resolved a load to haul;
All three were harnessed to the cart,
And pulled together all.
But though they pulled with all their might,
The cart-load on the bank stuck tight.
The swan pulled upward to the skies
The crab did backward crawl,
The pike made for the water straight
It proved no use at all!
Now, which of them was most to blame
This not for me to say,
But this I know: the load is there
Unto this very day.

Is Mongolia stuck? |
The Swan is trying to pull ahead the Cart to take it to the next station, but the Crab is pulling back cause it's jealous and against Swan's getting all the credit, while the Pike pulls it down, ready to pull the rug from under any time.
The Swan cannot do it by herself without the Pike but with their King behind bars, the Pike is very reluctant in moving the same direction, despite the mutual agreement. The Crab has nominated meanwhile the candidate for the coming President's election, a famous wrestler, in the hope to stall the progress more if elected.
The Cart has been on the bank for too long, but nobody except the Swan does not interested really in moving it forward. How long we should bear this hardship? Is nobody interested in moving ahead? If yes, then do let your voice hear, for God's sake!
