Читать книгу My Verses About Cats - Juan Moisés De La Serna, Dr. Juan Moisés De La Serna, Paul Valent - Страница 7

An elephant was seen

jumping in a park

he saw a turtle there

that quickly approached him.

― Hello, pretty turtle

― the elephant said.

She was asleep

and she didn´t answer anything.

Again he greeted her

and he missed her so much

he saw her so still

and she has not replied.

― Turtle, did you hear me?

― the elephant said.

So loud was the sound

that I could no longer sleep.

― Yes, I heard you

― the turtle said.

― Why didn’t you answer?

― Because I was sleeping.

And talking for a while

the two of them have been there

then a cat arrived

and quickly asked.

― Elephant, would you like

to help me?

― And me? ―the other animal asked.

― No ― he answered.

― Why do you help him and not me?

― the turtle told him.

― Because you are very calm

and I would arrive late.

And the angry turtle

has fallen asleep

the cat and the elephant

left quickly.

A bird that was

on a branch

has started to sing

tucked into its nest.

The turtle listened to it

and immediately asked

― Why do you sing little bird?

Then, he answered.

― As I have seen you alone

and you seemed to be sad

what I intended was

to make you happy with my song.

The little turtle looked at him

and thanked him

then she gets into her little house

where she keeps resting

And so the two friends

there they are together

the turtle has fallen asleep

and the bird will shut up.
