The evolution of peace
It was a new era, without human flesh. All the species were unique and united.
The remaining living beings feed only on what the land offered, fruit and herbs were their delight, These evolutions valued each other and constantly worked in teams; It was a like a large diverse family of toughies. Each surviving species beheld a unique power which aided and allowed them to resist the end of the last era. In this world, each specie appreciated the best of the others and respected them for their uniqueness, perhaps it had to do with other´s need and benefit from their distinctive feature but the truth is, that it worked better than destroying each other.
But the beauty of such new begging only came after the incessant battle of many, and the great epiphany of two. An Exceptional small white rabbit, color just like snow, light and fast as wind, too fast to see, too fast to catch. He always bragged about his rapidness, his ability to escape and the many wonders of his specie. And there was nothing wrong about this arrogance, after all, he was indeed marvelous. He thought himself so wonderful that he constantly underestimated others
The sunlight brighten one morning with intensity and the cottontail animal was bragging about his unique abilities, he was in one place and in one blink he wasn´t. “I can do everything no one is better than me”, he would tell the other beasts of the forest and then he would run like the speed of light. But the universe was ready to rule for punishment of the gods, he didn’t see what was coming, he was too busy looking back at all those who stayed behind, when suddenly he fell into a little pound that he came across. Help! Help! Help! He said while he was moving his paws, but his ability didn´t help him so much this time. Along came the lonely ugly-looking duck, his peak looked colorless, his feathers were opaque black and his eyes always looked sad. The rabbit screamed for help in his despair, yet the duck remembers all those he was put down but the rabbit and he replied “but how could I possible save the mighty and speedy white?” worried for his life the rabbit said “Oh C’mon, YOU can swim ugly duck, just get me out!” The duck said he would help only if he admitted how special everyone else was, the rabbit wanted to refuse but with his beautiful coat all cover by mud, he had no other choice. “I admit it! I’m an arrogant bully and I deserve to be here but please help me out!. The duck went in to save the rabbit, and also took him for a fly, these two had the longest talk in which they discover how wonderful each other was and how their differences could benefit each other, they decided to explain this to others and the rabbit encourage the rest to work in teams rather than divide. And that is how team work became essential for their existence in this new world of peace.
