The second and third pages of The Five Hundred Hats of Bartholemew Cubbins, by Dr. Suess (Random House, 1938).

The Kingdom of Didd was ruled by King Derwin. His palace stood on the top of the mountain. From his balcony, he looked down over the houses of all his subjects - first, over the spires of the noblemen's castles, across the broad roofs of the rich men's mansions, then over the little houses of the townfolk, to the huts of the farmers far off in the fields.

It was a mighty view and it made King Derwin feel mighty important.

Far off in the fields, on the edge of the cranberry bog, stood the hut of the Cubbins family. From the small door Bartholemew looked across the huts of the farmers to the houses of the townsfolk, then to the rich men's mansions and the noblemen's castles, up to the great towering palace of the King. It was exactly the same view that King Derwin saw from his balcony, But Bartholemew saw it backward.

It was a mighty view, but it made Bartholemew Cubbins feel mighty small.
