Chapter 47 The Morality of the Dwarf

After Zarathustra landed, he did not go directly to his mountain and his cave, but he wandered about, asking this and that; The river that returns to its fountainhead!" Because he wanted to know: What happened in the world during the time when he was gone!People get bigger or smaller.Once, he saw a row of new houses; he said in surprise: "What is the meaning of these houses? Truly, no great soul would build them for their own symbols! Maybe a stupid kid took it out of a toy box?I hope another kid puts them in the toy box again! These rooms: Can humans enter and exit?It seemed to me that they were made for silk dolls, or cats that were gluttonous and eaten. "

Zarathustra stood for a moment in thought.Finally, he said sadly: "Everything is getting smaller! Here and there I saw low doors: a man of my height could pass through, but—he had to bow! Ah, when shall I return to my native land, where I have no bow,--where I have no bow to dwarfs? ’— Zarathustra sighed, looking far away.— On this very day he gave a lecture on the morality of dwarves.
