The patience of the Taichi ant. Modern fable for children
The Taichí ant painted with a fine brush, one by one, sixty grains of rice.
I was doing an oriental mosaic, in which, when I finished, I would see a drawing.
I painted very slowly, very carefully and very fondly.
A couple of days ago I had discovered a perfect place to work inside the anthill. It was a retired site through which few ants passed and where the sun's rays filtered through holes in the earth.
Just when Taichí was going to get a paint color between amber and orange, he heard they called him from the entrance of the anthill.
- Taichí, are you coming to play with us? - They were his friends: the hedgehog Púa and the turtle Roqui.
The ant cleared the brush and went outside.
- Sorry, I'm busy painting the tiles of a mosaic.
- Do you show it to us?
- Not yet, when I finish it.
- We want to see it!
- We must wait a bit. - Please, Taichi, just a little corner! - I can not, it's a surprise, I'll let you know when it's finished - Taichi answered with a mysterious Taichí air, and turned inside the anthill to continue working.
The ant
continued to color
the rice grains, leaving them to dry on tea leaves, and then placing them, one by one, in their corresponding place. The turtle and the hedgehog were very intrigued, but decided to let Taichí work quietly. When the ant finished, he went to look for his friends and asked them to close their eyes while going to the mosaic.
- Three, two, one ... and zero! You can open them!
Then, Púa and Roqui saw the drawing of the
big wild apple tree
from the top of the hill, with the leaves that had fallen to him when arriving the autumn. - It's beautiful! How many shades of oranges, yellows, golds! Le - Read the dedication - the Taichi ant asked them. - "To my friends Roqui and Púa that waited for this drawing to end in order to play with me".
Moral:
To get an excellent job, you need to be patient.
