The Two Rabbits

The Two Rabbits

    Among the bushes,
    followed by dogs,
    (I would not say ran)
    but flew a rabbit.

    From the rabbit hole
    came out his comrade,
    and said: -wait,
    my friend, what is going on?

    -What should we do? – replied;
    he came breathless…
    Two naughty greyhounds
    are chasing me.

    -Yes, replies the other one,
    I see them there…
    But they are not greyhounds.
    -Well then, what are they?. –Hounds.

    What? Hounds you say?
    Yes, like my grandfather.
    -Hounds and very much hounds;
    I see them very well.

    They are hounds, my goodness,
    what don’t you understand from that?
    -They are hounds, I am telling you.
    -I say, they are hounds.

    During this argument,
    the dogs arrive and
    caught my two careless rabbits.

    Those who
    because of minor issues
    neglect what is important,
    take this example.

    Tomás de Iriarte.
