“The confounding continue”
Long time ago, when animals ruled the entire world, when there was no humanity in existence, in a far away jungle, full of big trees, long prairies with green grass and lots of delicious fruits, there was an animal, a very special one, that had different feelings from the other ones. In other words, there was an animal that in his very intern feelings, he had hypocrisy, every animal in the jungle was very united to the others, showed loyalty to their friends, really had a meaning for their friendship, shared things, same habitats and environment, but unfortunately, this animal shared the same privileges than the others, but he had another ideal of how to use that privileges. This animal is very big, this animal, is a tiger. One cold day, a very rare one due to the climate of the jungle, the tiger was running over the moisten grass looking everywhere to find a victim, a innocent one that thought he was a true friend and a loyal one. He was running and running until he found little giraffe, she was a newborn in the “neighborhood” and she was quite inoffensive to the others. He took her far away, fooling her that he was going to show her a place she had never seen before. Poor giraffe was caught in his tramp and he ate her with no regret at all. Unfortunately for him, there was a flying eagle in the jungle that observed the environment and shared with the others what he saw everyday. He saw how tiger ate giraffe and he made himself victim in front of everyone else. When all the animals in the jungle found out what really happened and the true story they got very angry and started to take distance from a bad friend. The months passed, and tiger was regretting his mistake because he was feeling quite alone. Flying eagle noticed a big storm was approximating the jungle, and he told every animal except tiger about the catastrophe that was about to happen. Every animal migrated to the top of the mountain to save him or herself from the big storm that was about to happen. Because of the mistake of the tiger, and his lack of loyalty to his good and innocent friends they did not tell him anything and went to the top of the mountains without him. The storm began to happen and tiger did not know what to do, he was staring to drown and saw how everyone left him back with no regret at all, just as how he did. So he started to think, in his desperate and lonely situation he started to realize, well, maybe it’s about what you give; it’s what you really get.
