The end of the world ...(Fable)
The sun came up that morning over an Earth that was devastated. All of the buildings had crumble to the ground, all of the lakes, rivers, and oceans had dried up, and all of the people were gone. On a lonely, flat, endless plain you could see a lone horse walking in the distance. The horse walked over hard sand and dirt. All grass, trees, and plant were gone. Also in the distance farm away from the horse, there was a lone Saint Bernard dog walking in the distance. The dog was injured and limped. The horse and the dog approached each other “Are you hurt badly?” asked the horse.
The dog said, “What happened to everything? Where is everyone? I was knocked out and fell unconscious”. The horse looks at everything around him and answered “I don’t know, I don’t see anyone alive around here”.
“The last memory I have is ... “the dog touched his head and continued. " a very loud sound and then everything became dark” said the dog confused.
The horse and the dog rest for a moment. “What do you think we should do” said the dog. “Let´s keep walking until we find some shelter and food".
The horse and the dog keep walking for a long time, but they didn´t see anyone with life. "I am tired of this, we have been walking for like 3 days, and we can´t even something to drink." said the dog, and as soon as he finished talking the horse saw something strange.
"Take a look over there! We finally found it! There it is! ".
"Is all of that real? “
"Of course it is real! Hurry up, let’s check it out"
They both found a small valley, full of green trees with different kinds of fruits in it. In the middle of the valley, there was a lake full of pure water. When they arrived, they both went and drank water.
"Why this is the only place that survived that attack?"
"Why we are even alive, man?" said the horse while trying to reach an apple from the tree. "Here you go, eat something, how is your leg doing?” "It is good, it is healing" the dog said. That night, something unexpected happened. Different kinds of animals arrived to the valley.
The next day all the animals gathered around and apple tree and discuss about the situation. “ I think this is our new opportunity to create a world in which we can all live in peace with each other and let all the bad memories we had disappear” said the horse to all the animals. The dog and the rest of the animals agreed with the horse way of thinking and decide to join to make a new world in which all can be a big family. After some time and effort of all the animals, what was used to be a small valley, transforms into the home of all the animals....
“With effort and union, everything can be made.”
