\nWhat I am going to explain happened before man existed and dominated the Earth.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nIn
\n at that time, only the trees were always in the same place. The
\n rest of the living beings moved freely. Even the flowers went
\n to visit his friends the rabbits, the squirrels, the hedgehogs, the
\nbirds and insects: all beings that walked, crawled or
\nthey flew<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nSometimes the fish joined them, because they could get out of the water. They all knew how to speak and understood each other.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nOne
\n night, in a clearing in the forest, a great party was held: the people
\nhe told stories, and the birds gave a concert that went
\nfollowed by a dance. The squirrel danced with the thyme, the rabbits with
\nthe carnations Each flower had its partner. Even a spider
\nhe was playing with the dragonfly. There was much joy.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nHe
\n Toad, who had not been invited because he was very ugly, leaves
\npresent anyway. He approached the tulip, but this one
\nhe refused<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nThey all began to play pranks on him and formed a circle around the poor toad, who began to get furious.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n-You are horrible!, You are horrible!!! -snorted the owl. Animals and flowers pointed at him, repeating:<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nYou are horrible! , You are horrible!<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe toad lost his patience.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n-You are very bad! - he shouted - I will take revenge on you!<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd he swelled up in such a way that the poison from his skin shot out and splashed them all.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nHe
\n fish took refuge in the water, the birds disappeared among them
\nbranches and flowers withered trying to hide underground.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\nI
\n since that night nothing was the same: the animals and the flowers no longer
\nthey could talk and not understand each other. The flowers could not be moved from their place.
\n And the fish died as soon as someone took them out of the water.  <\/span><\/div>\n
