El Conejo y el León
Un celebre Psicoanalista se encontró cierto día en medio de la Selva, semiperdido.
Someday a well-known psychoanalyst discovered himself half’-lost in the course of the jungle.
Con la fuerza que dan el instinto y el afán de investigación logró fácilmente subirse a un altísimo árbol, desde el cual pudo observar a su antojo no solo la lenta puesta del sol sino además la vida y costumbres de algunos animales, que comparó una y otra vez con las de los humanos.
With the energy given by intuition and the will to research, he simply managed to climb a really excessive tree, from which he may observe at is not going to solely the sluggish sundown but in addition the life and habits of some animals, which he in contrast repeatedly with these of people.
Al caer la tarde vio aparecer, por un lado, al Conejo; por otro, al León.
As night fell, he noticed the rabbit seem on one facet and the lion on the opposite.
En un principio no sucedió nada digno de mencionarse, pero poco después ambos animales sintieron sus respectivas presencias y, cuando toparon el uno con el otro, cada cual reaccionó como lo había venido haciendo desde que el hombre period hombre.
At first nothing value mentioning occurred, however quickly after, each animals sensed one another’s presence and, once they ran into one another, every reacted as that they had been doing since man was man.
El León estremeció la Selva con sus rugidos, sacudió la melena majestuosamente como period su costumbre y hendió el aire con sus garras enormes; por su parte, el Conejo respiró con mayor celeridad, vio un instante a los ojos del León, dio media vuelta y se alejó corriendo.
The lion shook the jungle together with his roars, shook his mane majestically as was his customized and cleaved the air together with his huge claws; for his half, the Rabbit breathed extra shortly, seemed for an prompt into the Lion’s eyes, turned and ran away.
De regreso a la ciudad el celebre Psicoanalista publicó su famoso tratado en que demuestra que el León es el animal más infantil y cobarde de la Selva, y el Conejo el más valiente y maduro: el León ruge y hace gestos y amenaza al universo movido por el miedo; el Conejo advierte esto, conoce su propia fuerza, y se retira antes de perder la paciencia y acabar con aquel ser extravagante y fuera de sí, al que comprende y que después de todo no le ha hecho nada.
Upon returning to the town, the well-known psychoanalyst printed his well-known treatise through which he demonstrated that the lion is essentially the most infantile and cowardly animal within the jungle, and the rabbit the bravest and most mature: the Lion roars and makes gestures and threatens the universe out of concern; the rabbit notices this, acknowledges his personal energy, and withdraws earlier than it would lose its persistence and end off that outrageous and uncontrolled being, which it understands and which in any case it hadn’t accomplished something to.
