If only, if only,” sighs the woodpecker,
I guess that illustrates how tough life, or tree bark, is. If only the shell was a little softer, or life was a little easier, you could get to the good stuff quickly. And the wolf… Hmm. I think maybe the wolf is some kind of partner you might have in life, who sees how hard you’re struggling and wants to help you, but at the same time tries to explain why sometimes life isn’t practice. hard.
Well, that literally means the woodpecker wishes the bark was softer so he doesn’t have to work so hard to get something to eat because he’s hungry…and the wolf wishes he could eat the woodpecker because he is also hungry. I think the meaning is that wishing is sometimes futile; the bark will never get softer for the woodpecker and the woodpecker will not come down for the wolf anytime soon. Sorry, I realize that’s a confusing answer!
It is simply a made up “rhyme” for the story, it has no deeper or hidden meaning.
It’s trying to say “if only” life was better and easier than it would be perfect.
It represents humans and how long we have been trying to create a utopian society. However, we cannot and never will, but we can always dream. We can not?
