1. THE GIRAFFE AND THE MOSQUITO
ОглавлениеOne day, a giraffe
was quietly eating
when a mosquito arrived
and immediately said.
― Do you like that food?
― Yes ― she replied.
― What does it taste like this time?
― The mosquito asked.
― Delicious ― the giraffe
told the mosquito.
― But what does it taste like? ― He asked
and he seemed to be curious.
She thinks about it a little bit
and then she replied
― It tastes like grass
― and then she shut up.
― But the grass doesn’t have flavor
because I have eaten it
and I can assure you
it’s not a good bite.
She stares at him
and she asked
― Have you eaten grass?
“I don’t think so.
― Yes! ― he is saying to her ―,
I ate it one day.
― No! ― She answers
because she didn’t believe it.
― Yes! ― No! Both of them said
and they were talking for a while
when a cat approached
that was heard from afar.
― Let’s see, tell me
why I see you arguing
What does it matter if you like it?
that’s good for you.
The giraffe was looking at him
and she did not understand very well.
― Why does the cat say that?
― And so she would ask.
― Come on, tell me something
Why do you express yourself like that?
― But she looks at the mosquito
and says again.
― The grass is very good
and I can assure you
that you haven’t eaten
the food you can find here.
The cat when answering
gave her this explanation
― Giraffe, which is better?
he eats a lot.
»If he likes the way you do
the grass of this place
will leave you without it
and you will have to leave.
She was thoughtful
because she hadn’t thought about it
and says to the mosquito
― It is true that you have tried it.
» And I think it’s bitter
that’s why you didn’t like it
better get more delicious food
that´s what I think.
The mosquito has heard her
and he answered
― I am going to look for food
I will come here another day.
And he flew away
he did not like the grass
and the cat says
to the amazed giraffe.
― Do you see how easy it has been?
that’s why he flew away
the grass has not been eaten
and you have more grass to eat.
The giraffe has understood
that he was right
she thanked the cat
and kept on eating
And the mosquito
flew away from there
he will surely come back
when he has thought about it.
