"What greatness your works are, Lord, You have made them all with wisdom. For example, a lion, a spider, and a dog were together, and the lion requested that the dog attack the spider, but the spider sought help from the lion, and the lion helped the spider, and the dog helped the lion, and they did not harm each other. Rabbi Akiva began to observe and said, "What greatness your works are, Lord, you have made them all with wisdom."

When Rabbi Akiva arrived at this passage, the sea was vast and wide. He said, "There are creatures that are large in the sea, and there are creatures that are large on land. If those that are in the sea were to come onto land, and those that are on land were to go into the sea, they would die, because each creature has its own environment. What greatness your works are, Lord, you have made them all with wisdom."
