The mockingbird
A snail
Believing himself handsome, believing himself fat,
mocking a ladybug.
She was thin, she was frail.
Really, had we ever seen
such a small insect!
Comes to pass a swallow
that audits the snail.
- What a brimborion! she said, He
is the thinnest in the canton Come to
pass a duckling.
- This swallow is tiny, look
at its ridiculous size," he
said in a contemptuous tone.
Now, a pheasant saw the duck and shook his head:
- What is this tiny beast?
With such a weirdly built body?
We have never seen a smaller eagle
soaring, threw these words at them - Are
you crazy? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?
Whoever makes fun of the Previous
will be made fun of by the Next.
Whoever makes fun of someone else
about his beak, about his shell,
his size or his cauldron, risks
in turn Turn made fun of.
