The homeless kitten was going
along the street
And it was crying silently…
Mangy, with sick paw and dangling tail,
With tears
trembling in the unhappy eyes…
And nobody would
notice it.
And if they did,
they would growl or threaten kitten with a stick.
And it would run
away…
And it would sadly
think: "I'm so ugly”
“Who will take
me to their home?”
So it went, along the edge of road.
And all of a sudden, he saw two
big feet in boots.
In mortal fear,
the kitten closed its eyes.
The man leaned
over and said:
"So handsome!”
“Just have a look!”
“What lovely
ears!”
“Will you go
with me?”
“I will be very glad!”
“I do not
promise a palace.”
“But I will give
you milk with a sausage.”
“And I will treat you
as a prince!”
The man bent
down and stretched out his palm.
He took the
kitten,
Then looked up at
the sky,
Thinking, the rain
had started suddenly.
And in his hands
The kitten was
crying with happiness…
In three months…
Read this story to your children. Discuss it with them. You will
immediately notice the good human feelings coming out of them. We cannot be human without comappsion...
P.S. Somebody sent me this story in the form of a poem in Russian, knowing that I would publish it in the big world. I
made the translation, corresponding to the meaning of each line.
To be human is so wonderful!
