The bunny and the turtle

After a catastrophic and devastating day, the sun finally came up that morning. There were no trees, mountains, flowers, lakes, rivers, humans or any kind of nature or living thing, all the beauty and grace of earth had disappeared. There was nothing else but two innocent little animals that suddenly came out from nowhere. One of them was an old turtle with scars in her shell and wrinkles in her whole delicate skin, she was trapped under a rock saving her from this catastrophe, as she was staring around her, realizing that all was gone and that she was completely alone. When she started to get desperate and sad, she saw a young bunny running.

“Hello? Is someone alive?” The bunny yelled out.

The turtle yelled back “Here, I’m here! I’m alive!”

The bunny very surprised and thrilled ran to where the turtle was and they talked about what happened.

“I don’t know where my family is! I fell unconscious because of a rock and now I don’t know where they are! I want to know if they are alright.” The turtle said

“Well, I was here alone, I have no family. But I can help to find yours even though it will be difficult…” The bunny whispered with pity.

“I don’t care, I will find them but we have to do it now.”

“Yes, the faster we go, better”

When they were talking the ground started shaking, it was an earthquake. The bunny quickly ran while the turtle tried to run but she couldn’t run because she was not as fast as the bunny, she was old, and she was a turtle. Thinking about her deam, the turtle was fighting for his life trying to run as fast as she could to somewhere safe.

The bunny ran scared as fast as he could, being in a safe place , he does realize that he was all alone again, he knew that most likely will not find anyone more or at least it would be very difficult, so he decides to take a look back , climbing on a rock near him looking for the turtle. After looking around and not finding the turtle, the bunny continued his way. "Poor turtle, I hope she can find her family," said the bunny, with a great sadness in his face and a feeling of loneliness that he had never experienced in his life. The bunny kept running for a long time, while the turtle was still walking among the stones that the earthquake had left behind. Both animals kept looking and looking for someone else, the turtle with a very clear goal, to find his family, and the bunny with the simple desire to not be alone. These two animals teach us that no matter how fast you run or which goals you have in life, at some point, death will reach your feet and carry you away with it, and the end of the world will come to all.
