Moth Argument

The five year old says to the four year old
don’t smack the moths.
The four year old says to the five year old
I only hit the big ones.

The five year old says
if you hit the moths they die and their
children will die.
The four year old says
moths don’t have babies.

The five year old says
they can’t have babies if
you kill the mummies and daddies.
The four year old says
I only hit the bad ones.

The five year old says
there are no bad moths.
The four year old says
there are.

The five year old whispers
there are no bad moths.
