The Bunny and the Snake |
|
Translated by Shannon Pyle
Once upon a time, a bunny left his burrow, he went in search of food in the plains. He was eating grass when he noticed that a huge downpour was already approaching. And what did he do? He left to hide inside a cave. He didn´t know that there was already a snake inside. He did know, however, that when one has a good education, one never goes in a house without greeting first, and if they answer you, you enter, and if they don´t answer you, don’t enter. When he arrived at the cave, the first thing he did was greet.
“I will give a greeting to the good little cave.”
He said to her:
“How have you been, good little cave, how was your day?”
The evil snake answered him:
“Very well, thank you; come in bunny; how is it that you remembered to come and greet me? Come!”
That snake told him to enter so that when the bunny entered, he could eat him.
The bunny, who had already sniffed the air before, began to tremble. So, the bunny answered him saying:
“Don’t worry. I just saw that the weather changed, it seems that the storm is already passing.”
“Do not let it be that you get wet; It’s best that you shelter from the rain.”
“Good little cave, tell me. Do caves speak?”
“Caves don’t speak.”
“Thank you very much, now I go.”
The bunny went running, with its tail straight out.
And the snake stayed in the cave and said to himself:
“It would have been better if I hadn’t responded, so that he would have entered, and I would have eaten him. I am a fool!”
And he was mad because he couldn’t eat the bunny.
Now the bunny walks through the pasture eating grass.
