NAME:
AN OLD RUBY ROOSTER, SENTING THE FOX'S APPROACH, PERCHED ON A TREE. THE FOX, DISAPPOINTED, MURMURED TO HIM: "LET IT BE, YOU RABBIT, I WILL HEAL YOU ALREADY!"…”. AND IN A LOUD VOICE I SAID:
– FRIEND, I COME TO TELL A BIG NEWS: THE WAR AMONG THE ANIMALS IS ENDED. THE WOLF AND THE LAMB, THE HAWKS AND THE CHICKS, THE JAGUAR AND THE DEER, THE FOX AND THE CHICKENS, ALL THE CRITTLES NOW WALK TO KISS LIKE VALENTINES. GET DOWN FROM THAT PERCH AND COME AND RECEIVE MY EMBRACE OF PEACE AND LOVE.
- VERY WELL! - EXCLAIMED THE ROOSTER. – DON'T IMAGINE HOW SUCH NEWS REJOICES ME! WHAT BEAUTY THE WORLD WILL BE CLEANED FROM WARS, CRUELTY AND TREASURES! I'M GOING DOWN TO HUGE FOX, BUT… AS THERE COME THREE DOGS, I THINK IT'S GOOD TO WAIT FOR THEM, SO THAT THEY ALSO TAKE PART IN THE CONFRATERNIZATION.
WHEN HEARING TALKING ABOUT DOGS, DONA RAPOSA DID NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT STORIES, AND TRIED TO PUT HIMSELF FRESH, SAYING:
– UNFORTUNATELY, FRIEND HUMMY-DUTY, I'M IN A HURRY AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DOGS FRIENDS. STAY FOR AGAIN THE PARTY, YES? SEE YOU LATER.
AND IT SCRAPED ITSELF.
AGAINST SMART, SMART AND HALF.
