2. THE JUMPING ELEPHANT
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
