Cuentos para Kati II

The smart and pretty koala, was marveled by the colors of the leaves, so many flavors, so many options, so much delights. The lite green gave her a sweet refreshing dessert, on those long and boring afternoons.  The dark green, the stronger she felt, oh the sweet energy. And there was those unusual greens, only to be found when the hit start dropping slowly. Oh, those unusual greens, so tasty, like a good nice сметана в банке.

Green everywhere, every day, all her life, only challenged by the blue, that in the water or the sky. Why is there water, both on the ground and on the sky? She used to ask, on her 15 min a day gathering by the river. Why can I touch this one nearby? but the one in the sky, I can only feel when falls on occasion. Why the water stays there, all the time? Why it doesn't move like the one in the river? Oh, i want to try it, will it taste differently?. 15 minutes is not enough, for a philosophical discussion such as that, but that is all you got until tomorrow.

It was paradise, every day, from the first time she opened her eyes till today, till this beautiful day, sunny, warm and comforting. But those questions need to find an answer, those questions cannot endure for ever, those have to be settled. But some answers can't be found, neither on a sunny day nor on a rainy day. Some answers can't be found on the extremes, but are laying perfectly balanced at that rare moment, at that rare place, when extremes have met.

The sweet Koala kept looking up, wondering, dreaming with the taste of the sky, the bright light, the warm light, oh such a pleasant suspire she had, until that drop touch her little tail. What is this? She wonder, why water is falling on a such a bright day?

The rivers falling from the skies attempted to block the shiniest start, but the light fought back, a great fight, like only the most extremes can have.

What is this? She wonder, i have never seen such a thing, there are leaves and water on it, but what are those other five, those other five I have never seen, red, orange, yellow, indigo, violet and leaves and water. What is red? What is indigo? Why are leaves and water at the same place? Why they stayed together.

Some questions must have an answer. Oh yes, oh yes, the great war between the fierce two, the great war between those who exude confidence, those who are so sure of their selves only to find themselves being the same, cause are not light and water of the same color? Oh yes, yes they are, but when together,  over that short and spectacular hug, are not they seven?

Cuentos para Kati I

The little lizard was scared of moving ahead, she fell from the window and found herself trapped within pink-colored walls. She knew her friend was waiting for her in the garden but on a rainy winter day, all windows were closed and the only way to go to her friend was to cross, all the house, into the kitchen. There, the little door for the cat could let her go out, if she was quick enough not to be catched.

She was scared because her friend would go quickly to hide from the winter and she didn't want to stay imprisoned with all those big scary dolls and all the clothing in the floor. The first time she tried, she managed to exit the little girl's room but at the edge of the stairs, she saw her playing and talking with the cat and decided to go back to the room and hide. The cat didn't see her this time but the girl caught her on her rear eye. Her big eyes focused on her tiny tail and she got so excited that run to her room, but the lizard was faster and found herself again trapped, this time by a big-eyed teddy bear. Her hearth was jumping fast and the running-around girl and the smelling-cat terrified her, but mama called for dinner and both the girl and the cat run very fast to the kitchen. She though of following them, the nice smell of warm bread told her to be brave but fear slipped his big claws from her tail to her head.

The little lizard was caught in her head and while days passed, she thought too much of the consequences if somebody were to see her. Remembered all the cruel stories she heard from her parents about those evil felines and those torturing humans. Fear freezed her and her only wish was to see her friend again. Gathering all her strength, she jumped to the window, hoping to see her stiul hiding by the dahlia in the garden, but the snow only showed a white and chilling flower, with no little lizard on it. She thought her friend left her and her tears were only interrupted when the little girl jumped to the bed.

This time, the cat saw her. One cannot know which one is faster or which one would get tired before  but the giant girl was also fast and the scary teddy didn't help. When having those two evil enemies cornering her, she exclaimed to herself, oh dear friend I hope you have found the shelter we always dreamed, closed her eyes and hoped the giants would get tired quickly of her tiny self.

Time goes by very slowly when you are lost and when survival has faded away one discovered its true self. The first she felt was the furry hand pushed her to the wall but one can not avoid to react and with her eyes half-opened she saw her little old friend, she thought herself dreaming or already in the lands beyond life, but this time her rear eye caught the smile on the little girl. She couldn't understand what she said but you, you the one who is hearing this, do can understand when the girl said, we found your friend and you both can stay in our warm and beautiful shelter, so you see, sometimes fear only hides that you have found what you always have dreamt.
