The Lion and the snake

Once upon a time in a big and green Savanna there was a brave but arrogant lion called Samuel. This lion was the King of the Savanna  and all the subjects were afraid of him. Samuel never said please or thank you, and he did not have friends. Nobody dared to challenge him because if they lose they would  be banished. But one day, when Samuel was resting, a misterious snake challenged him. If the lion won he would be banished but if the snake won, he would be the king. The lion acepted carefreely and he continued resting.

The arrogant lion, Samuel, was standing behind a tree. He was thinking the way he could make front and fight with the snake without causing him a suffering death. He knew that he will win the bet but he didn’t want his Kingdom furious and embrassed of their magnificous king, himself. From the other side, the Kingdom will like to know that they had a strong and powerful King who would protect them from all kinds of danger. During his reflection, he did not even see that an owl  was near him and was watching him with caution. When Samuel realiced it, seriously, the owl Albus, warned the king:

-My Majesty, beware of the snake´s cunning. He knows exactly your arrogant thoughts, and he will take advantage of it. Use your wisdom, knowledge and power correctly. Take advantage about your power of lion and king of this wild kingdom. I send you my luck, majesty.   

The fight day arrived, they started to fight, first, the snake hit the lion's feet and the lion hit the floor.Then, he roar and the snake flew for some seconds, when the lion touched the snake for first time, he paralized for an hour and the snake celebrated,  he thought it was done. But when the lion woke up he said that he only wanted to be his friend. Although, when the snake was going to give him a hug he fall again because his skin was poisonous.  The king  did not accept his lost feud and battle, but, unfortunately for him, a bet was a bet, and he had given the snake his promise.

When the lion loses he became the snake's clown in his kingdom to make them laugh. They were always fighting, until the snake got really angry . She put a sword in the lion's neck and told him that if he stills bodering her, she will insert the sword in his heart. The lion accepted and  went to his room, where he hit a photo of the snake with a stick. Then, the snake came and told him that he was sorry about what have happened and that he was going to be promoted. The lion was very happy but they still hate each other.

Some hours after, the lion cried a lot because he didn't win to a small animal like the snake and now he was his personal clown. He told everyone that the snake cheated but anyone believed him. He was very disappointed of losing but furious with the snake, so he looked for it and when he found it. He shouted him:

-¡That was unfair! You are poisonous and you didn't tell it to me, you must give me back my throne.

- I will not give you back your place, because I told it to you, but you didn't listen me

- That's a lie, you didn't advice me, you don't  disserved to be the king. You are very small and innocent.

- I make remember to you that with only a touch of you, you will paralyze of my poison I may be small but I am very clever and strong

After telling this, the lion ran away and nobody knew were he went. Days passed and all the Savanna rest in peace.

Moral: do not judge people before knowing them well.

El Parque: El antes y el después

  Cuando yo era muy chiquita mi mamá me llevaba a un parque cerca de mi casa. Recuerdo que era bastante grande, que tenía muchos árboles, el pasto  estaba siempre verde  y hasta había ardillas!, la biodiversidad de de las especies del  lugar era muy abundante,  luego nos mudamos y por mucho tiempo dejó de llevarme. Hace poco volvimos  pero ya no era el mismo, estaba sucio,  descuidado y había muchos árboles caídos, prácticamente abandonado, no había muchos seres vivos. No podíamos creer que fuera el mismo ambiente, parece que el Estado cortó los árboles para utilizarlos para la madera y el papel,como me dijo mi mamá eso se llama consumo de recursos. Tambiém, la última tormenta que había sido muy fuerte tiró algunos  árboles,  ello facilitó el crecimiento del pasto, muchos pájaros se quedaron sin árboles y se fueron a otro lado, era un asco. Realmente me quedé muy triste,  no podía creer  que nadie se ocupara de arreglar el lugar sino todo lo contrario la gente dejaba las botellas, bolsas con basura, envoltorios de galletitas, entre otras cosas, por lo que  al problema que generó la tormenta se le suma el impacto ambiental generado por el hombre.
Necesitábamos recuperar el parque, teníamos que detener la contaminación ambiental y la extinción de seres vivos, entonces volvimos al lugar con mis amigos, nos pusimos unos guantes y con cuidado fuimos recogiendo las botellas plásticas y los papeles para reciclar mientras que mi mamá rescataba algunas plantas y las ponía en macetas para llevarlas a mi casa y tratar de salvarlas. Fue muy emocionante porque también los vecinos empezaron a ayudar y todo fue más fácil, con la colaboración de todos pudimos recuperar el parque y nos dimos si todos colaboramos un poquito el planeta estaría mejor.

Formal Letter

Dear Sir/ Madam:

I am Richard Pratt and I write this because I want that my story be  published after my suicide. Most of you, think that Richard Pratt is a rich and handsome man but now it is not like that. I lost a lot of opurtunities and things in my life, such as a new wife and one of my houses in Brooklin. 

This sadness started when I entered to the house of Mike, my old friend, and he challenged me with a bet. Obviously, I acepted. If I won I was going to marry his beatuful  daughter, Louise, and If he won I will give him one of my houses in Brooklin. My life went to hell when I lost that bet, so now I am here writting this letter to you, if you read this, my body will probably be in the street without life. 

I lost a lot of things because I was a bad guy and because of that reason I am writing this letter, to tell you how Richard Pratt died and why.

Sincerly,

Richard Pratt

Carta del Gran Jefe Seattle: un gran ambientalista

   La carta del  Gran Jefe Seattle, de la tribu de los Swamish al Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América, Franklin Pierce, le comenta sobre el cuidado del medio ambiente.
La carta reponde a la propuesta  de el Presidente Pierce  por la compra de una  gran extensión de tierras en donde vivían los indios Swaminsh, ofreciendo crear una reserva para el pueblo indígena.
   El Gran Jefe Seattle le contesta que van a considerar su oferta y  que entiende  que sino lo hacen "el hombre blanco vendrá con armas de fuego y tomara nuestras tierras" y  reflexiona sobre el valor de la tierra, que para ellos es  sagrada, sobre lo bondadosa que es la tierra con su pueblo y que las plantas y  los animales son sus hermanos y por lo tanto sagrados., que la tierra no pertenece al hombre y que es el hombre el que pertenece a la tierra .Y si les venden la tierra los hombres blancos deben recordar y enseñar a sus hijos que los ríos, el aire,  las plantas, los animales son sus hermanos y que  con dulzura se los debe tratar.
  Dice que no entiende, que su modo de vida es muy diferente y que la sola vista de sus ciudades apena los ojos del piel roja y que el ruido de las ciudades del  hombre blanco insulta sus oídos, será porque es un salvaje y no comprende nada...
 En conclusión la carta  dice que el hombre blanco camina  hacia su destrucción, siendo el final de la vida y el inicio de la supervivencia.
Esta  carta enseña lo importante que es cuidar, valorar  y respetar a la naturaleza y que sin  ella no podemos vivir.

La Antártida se derrite aceleradamente.

    El 13 de mayo de 2014 el diario La Nación hizo referencia a un  estudio realizado por científicos de la NASA que dio a conocer el fuerte impacto  del calentamiento  global en la Antártida que hará subir notablemente el nivel de los océanos.
El diario explicó que el calentamiento global y el agujero de ozono son las principales causas ya que estos modificaron los vientos antárticos y calentaron el agua lo que "va atacando la base del hielo".
 
Para este informe los científicos estudiaron el glacial Thwaites indicando que probablemente desaparecerá en algunos siglos y que si  bien estamos en etapas iniciales provocará el aumento  en el nivel de los océanos  más rápido de lo previsto.
