Penguins vs. Bears

Everybody knows that the polar ice caps are melting. However just a few know the real reason why those huge mountains of ice are becoming smaller every day.

Polar bears and penguins used to live in the north pole. Between them existed a terrible enmity. The penguins conjectured that their community was more prosper because of their ability of catching fish under the sea. The bears knew that the penguins were right and couldn't stop their jealousy. Bears could not accept that the penguins had more fishes than them. One-day Carlos, a young bear, went to fish far away of the limits of his Clan. What Carlos wanted was to find a place without penguins where the bears could rule the sea and have all the fishes they wanted.

Carlos had a huge surprise when he discovered that the floor beneath his paws was not ice, it was earth. He hasn’t seen a thing like that. Carlos ventured into this knew place without ice, nor cold weather nor penguins. After walking for a while the flor changed becoming black skinned with white stripes. “Maybe it is ice.” Thought Carlos.

The young bear decided to follow the stripes. They guided Carlos to a huge gathering of human beings, creatures that Carlos have never seen. One of the dogs that was with the human beings, saw Carlos and ran to him.

“What are you doing here? It is obvious that you are not from around here.” Said the dog.

“No, I am from the ice, north from here.”

Carlos looked to the gathering and saw a mysterious light, full of vivid red, yellow and orange colors.

“This is fire, dear foreign. Thanks to the to the human beings, they excelled the other species y have reached the intellectual perfection in all the disciplines.”

In that moment Carlos knew that if he could take the fire to his home, the situation with the penguins would change forever. In his little head, he imagined a place where the penguins serve the bears as the dogs serve humans. The dog brought the fire to Carlos, and he run back to his home. Arriving home, still with the fire on, Carlos explained to his family his idea and he talked about humans and how they have reached a superior intellect. The avarice of the bears did that no one of them hesitate to implement the fire in the north pole. The fire that Carlos had, was dying but it only took a spark to lit a tree. That’s is how their avarice started to melt their home, Everyone was starting to drown and houses were starting to flood. The world with years became a huge ocean, no land, just sea. And that is how the bears created the one, big, sea.
