In the most intricate of the Jungle existed in ancient times an owl became concerned for others. Consequently he
to ponder the obvious evil that made the lion with his power, on the weakness of the Ant, who was crushed every day, perhaps when he was busiest; on the laughter of the hyena, which never was irrelevant; on the Dove, who complains that holds air in your flight on that brings the Spider and the Fly Fly with all his intelligence get caught by the spider, and finally, on the defects that humanity was unhappy, and started thinking about how remedy.
soon acquired the habit of staying up late and going out to observe how people behaved, and was filled with scientific and psychological knowledge that was slowly directing his thoughts and in a small notebook.
So some years later he developed a knack for sorting, and science know when the lion would roar and when the hyena is going to laugh, and what he will do field mouse when he visited the city, and what would the dog carrying a cake in his mouth when he saw reflected in the water face of a dog carrying a cake in his mouth, and the Crow when he said that what a beautiful singing.
And he concludes:
If Leon does not do what he does but what the horse and the horse did not do what he does but what makes the Lion, and if the Boa does not do what he does but what makes the calf and the calf did not do what he does but what makes the Boa, and so on to infinity, mankind would be saved, since all live in peace and war would be like in the old days when there was no war. But
other animals did not appreciate the efforts of the Owl, the wise they assumed that I assumed, but rather thought it was silly, did not realize the depth of his thought, and still eating each other, unless the Owl, which was not eaten by anyone and never ate anyone.
