Many years ago a mighty rumbling was heard from a mountain, which was said to be in labor. Thousands of people flocked from far and near to see what it would produce. After a long time of waiting in anxious exception---out popped a mouse!
A magnificent and promising beginning often ends in a paltry performance.
