NAME:

THE FLY AND THE ANT

– I AM HIDALGA! – SAID THE FLY TO THE LITTLE ANT WHICH WAS CARRYING A ROSE LEAF. – I DON'T WORK, LANDING ON ALL TABLES, LICK OF ALL THE DELIGHTS, I WALK OVER THE LADIES' LAPS AND I EVEN SIT ON THE NOSE. WHAT A LUCK FEATURED MY…

THE LITTLE ANT DROPPED LOADING, DRIED HIS BROW AND SAID:

– DESPITE ALL, I DON'T ENVY THE LUCK OF FLIES. THEY ARE BADLY SEEN. NO ONE ESTIMATES THEM. EVERYONE SHOUTS THEM WITH

ASCO. AND THE WORST IS THAT IT HAS A crib DEGRADING: BORN IN THE AROUNDS.

- WELL WELL! – EXCLAIMED THE FLY. – HAVE ME HOT AND LAUGH IT.

– AND IN ADDITION TO FILTHY, THEY ARE CYNIC – THE ANT CONTINUED – DON'T PASS TWO PARASITES. ALL RESPECT ME. I AM RICH FOR MY WORK, I HAVE OWN HOUSE WHERE I MISS NOTHING DURING THE RIGIDITY OF BAD WEATHER. IS THAT YOU? YOU JUST CLOSE THE KITCHEN DOOR AND YOU ARE ALREADY WITHOUT WHAT TO EAT. I DO NOT EXCHANGE MY HONEST WORKER LIFE FOR THE GOLDEN LIFE OF THE FILANTES.

– WHO DENIES WANTS TO BUY – THE FLY MURDERED IRONICALLY.

DAYS LATER THE ANT FOUND THE FLY DEBATE IN A GLASS.

– SO, FIDALGA, WHAT IS IT? – he asked her.

THE PRISONER ANSWERED, VERY DISTRESSED:

– THE HOUSE OWNERS DEPARTED ON A TRIP AND LEFT ME LOCKED HERE. I'M HUNGRY AND ALREADY EXHAUSTED SO MUCH DEBATING ME.

THE ANT REPEATED THE EMPATHY OF THE FLY, IMITTING HIS VOICE: “I'M A HOLIDAY! LANDING ON ALL THE TABLES… WALKING THROUGH THE LADIES' LAPS…” AND THERE WAS FOLLOWED ON HIS WAY, HURRY AS ALWAYS.

WHO WANTS TO HARVEST, PLANT. AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE OTHER LIVES, ONE DAY CHOKS.
