the pigeon doesn’t understand your disdain for it; it coos for you anyway. the tree does not know you own an axe for it; its leaves sway in the sun anyway. the starving cat eats the poison you put out. it doesn’t know how not to trust. the earth forgives you, in spite of yourself
@GgeSeth66026@p_ribon_p That’s why the word is box. We now teach that x is usually at the end (or middle) of words to help kids remember the /ks/ sound, not the /z/ sound like in xylophone. The mistake here is that the x should have been at the end of the line.
