And the whole beetle was of one wing, and of one color. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Beetle; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us find beetles, and strip them of their wings, thoroughly. And they had wings for ears, and gold had they for mountings. And they said, Go to, let us build us a great earring, whose top may reach unto the studs; and let us make us another, lest we be caught with earrings unmatched. And the Beetle came down to see the earring and the other earring, which the beetles built. And the Beetle said, Behold, the earrings are done, and they have all one pair; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their earring, that they may not look from one another's ears. So the Beetle scattered the wings abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and the beetles left off to build again the earrings. Therefore is the name of it called Beetle; because the Beetle did there confound the beetles of all the earth: and from thence did the Beetle scatter the wings abroad upon the face of all the earth.
