THE LITTLE CARDINAL AND THE QUERREQUERRE

Once when winter was already passing, the morning bathed the savannah with
your sweet morning dew.
What a tasty morning dew the Cardinal Pope says he was coming from after taking two laps around the

tree to exercise its wings.

 When a Querrequere that was standing on another branch says: what is beautiful about it
this morning? another day with the same troubles, my problems from yesterday are the same
From today? What is beautiful about it?

Today we are following the bad from yesterday.

Immediately the little Cardinal became sad, his heart was saddened, he could believe
that one of his friends would have that attitude.
How was it possible that he did not realize the gift that each day represents.
And fearful, the little cardinal, that his friend did not want to talk, just said goodbye and went in.

in his house.
Many days passed until one afternoon when the little cardinals arrived.
At home, one of them, the smallest, tells his dad that he is very happy because a
a friend from his school who did not know how to fly and always said he would hate to know how to fly, today

when the teacher was teaching them how to fly, this friend of his was totally reluctant to

He told him, I'll give you a reason to fly, my friend, and the reason is that everything is

I don't know how to fly. The teacher is teaching us to fly today. If you have the will, you can change.

he ran out to talk to his friend Querrequere and tell him how good the savanna was to him
Gift every day, the beautiful thing about having friends, the incredible thing about having a family.

The Querrequere, after listening to the Cardinalito, shook his hand, thanked him, and said

 The Fox and the Grapes.

On an autumn morning, while a fox was resting under a plantation

of grapes, she saw beautiful bunches of ripe grapes before her eyes. Eager to
eat something refreshing and different from what she was used to, the fox got up, she
He rolled up his sleeves and got to work eating the grapes.
What the fox didn't know is that the bunches of grapes were much higher than
that she imagined. Then, she sought a way to reach them. She jumped, jumped, but her fingers
they couldn't even touch them.
There were many grapes, but the fox could not reach them. She took a run and jumped again.
At one time, but the jump fell short. Still, the fox did not give up. She took off running again.
and he jumped again and nothing. The grapes seemed to be getting higher and further away.
Tired from the effort and feeling unable to reach the grapes,
the fox became convinced that it was useless to try again. The grapes were too high and
the fox felt a deep frustration. Exhausted and resigned, the fox decided to give up on the
grapes.
When the fox was about to return to the forest, she realized that a bird that
I was flying around there, I had observed the whole scene and felt embarrassed. Believing that I had
making a ridiculous effort to reach the grapes, the fox approached the bird and said:
I would have managed to reach the grapes if they had been ripe. I was wrong.
at first thinking they were ripe but when I realized they were still
green, I have preferred to give up reaching them. Green grapes are not a good food for
a palate as refined as mine.
And so the fox continued on her way, trying to convince herself that it wasn't because of her
lack of effort that she had not eaten those delicious grapes. And yes because they were
greens.
