My Verses About Cats. Juan Moisés De La Serna
he answered
― I am going to look for food
I will come here another day.
And he flew away
he did not like the grass
and the cat says
to the amazed giraffe.
― Do you see how easy it has been?
that’s why he flew away
the grass has not been eaten
and you have more grass to eat.
The giraffe has understood
that he was right
she thanked the cat
and kept on eating
And the mosquito
flew away from there
he will surely come back
when he has thought about it.

2. THE JUMPING ELEPHANT
An elephant was seen
jumping in a park
he saw a turtle there
that quickly approached him.
― Hello, pretty turtle
― the elephant said.
She was asleep
and she didn´t answer anything.
Again he greeted her
and he missed her so much
he saw her so still
and she has not replied.
― Turtle, did you hear me?
― the elephant said.
So loud was the sound
that I could no longer sleep.
― Yes, I heard you
― the turtle said.
― Why didn’t you answer?
― Because I was sleeping.
And talking for a while
the two of them have been there
then a cat arrived
and quickly asked.
― Elephant, would you like
to help me?
― And me? ―the other animal asked.
― No ― he answered.
― Why do you help him and not me?
― the turtle told him.
― Because you are very calm
and I would arrive late.
And the angry turtle
has fallen asleep
the cat and the elephant
left quickly.
A bird that was
on a branch
has started to sing
tucked into its nest.
The turtle listened to it
and immediately asked
― Why do you sing little bird?
Then, he answered.
― As I have seen you alone
and you seemed to be sad
what I intended was
to make you happy with my song.
The little turtle looked at him
and thanked him
then she gets into her little house
where she keeps resting
And so the two friends
there they are together
the turtle has fallen asleep
and the bird will shut up.

3. DON GRUMPY ELEPHANT
Sitting in a shadow
there was a kitten
it was hot outside
and he did not like that.
He has gone to sleep
he had been sleeping for a while
when someone over there
growled and woke him up.
He has opened a little eye
and immediately found
the one who had growled
and asked.
― Don elephant, what’s wrong?
Why were you growling?
Haven´t you realised
that I am sleeping here?
The elephant looked at him
and quickly asked
― Who said that I was growling?
Who has been so daring?
The little one got up
and immediately answered
― I heard you growl
the one who said it was me.
The angry elephant
answered the kitten
― Go elsewhere
I want this shade.
― No! ― the kitten says ―,
here I got first
and if you want my shadow
I will be your partner.
Amazed, the elephant
looked at the kitten
and he tried to hug the kitten
with his horn.
― Don’t you dare ― he said.
I would not like to get angry.
and showed his nails
which were very sharp.
The elephant looked at them
and resigned he said
― We will share the shade
― And he would stay with him.

4. THE SNAIL AND THE CLOUD
One early morning
a snail was standing
looking at the sky
when a cloud passed.
― I’m going to take advantage now
surely later that
that cloud that is coming
will rain here.
The cloud that listened to
the
