Child's tale: The swallow and the birds

A swallow had learned a lot in his travels (there is nothing that teaches so much), he foresaw our animal until the minor storms, and before they broke out, he announced them to the sailors.

It happened that, when the seed of hemp arrived, he saw a farmer who threw the grain in the furrows. "I do not like that," he said to the other birds. "You pity me. As for me, I am not afraid of danger, because I will know how to get away and live anywhere. Do you see that hand that throws the seed into the air? Day will come, and it is not far, in what your scattering will be your perdition. From there will come ties and networks to catch you, utensils and machines that will be prison or death for you. It is convenient, then, the swallow continued, that you eat that seed. Believe me. "

The little birds made fun of her: there was so much to eat everywhere! When the fields of hemp were green, the swallow said to them: "Take off all the weeds that are born of that unfortunate seed, or you are lost", but the birds did not want to pay attention to it.

When the hemp was well grown: "This goes evil! "exclaimed the swallow: the bad seed has soon seasoned, but, since you have not attended to me before, when you see that the threshing is done, and that the free farmers already take care of the corn, they make war on the birds, tending networks everywhere, do not fly from here to there, stay still in the nest, or migrate to other countries: imitate the duck or the crane.

But the truth is that you are not prepared to cross, like us, the seas and the deserts: the best will be that you hide in the holes of some wall. "Los Pajaritos, tired of hearing it, began to chat without paying attention, and as the swallow warned, many were caught.

Moral: Así it happens to everyone: we do not serve more than our tastes; and we do not give credit to the evil until we have it over.If you know another fable for children and want to share it with us and the other parents, we will be happy to receive it.
