Short story: The nose and the eyes

He put his nose badly humored
And said to both eyes:
"You already have me humpback
Loading the glasses."

"They have not been made for me, I sweated them
He who looks for them"
And saying and doing, he shakes himself,
And he throws them out in the street.

The owner keeps walking, and because he is myopic,
He stumbles, and falls,
And his nose is flattened ... And from the top
In the eyes he subtracts.

Serving others frequently
Serves oneself;
And the imprudent
Selvático egoísmo always costs dearly.
