The falcon was one of those animals that roam the world threatening and overtaking others. He believed that his ideas were the only true ones and would not allow anyone to contradict him.
— No, parrot! You have no knowledge. Speak for the sake of it, like a fool! - Said the hawk, red with anger, when he was talking to the parrot.
The falcon deserved the title of fanatic. He saw the world through the narrow spectacles of ignorance and vanity, and he would not tolerate anyone thinking anything different from him. But the worst thing is that there was a conversation that confused anyone who was not very sure of himself.
One day, however, the falcon stumbled upon Mizifu, a teenage cat with polite and calm ways. The hawk, thinking he was in front of a baby, showed an air of superiority.
“I know a lot of things, Mizifu. And without wanting to brag, I can assure you that I haven't yet found an opponent up to my level. said the insufferable bird, with the air of a marquis.
"That's right, because it's hard to find someone as pedantic, cocky, and repellent as you, hawk." He knows? The perfect ignorant is the one who thinks he knows everything. And you are the living mirror of this despicable copy! replied Mizifu, leaving him petrified. For the first time, he had met someone who could really stand up to him.
