My Crazy Mind On Humans

Animals were saved two by two Yet humans destroyed Except for one man and his family. I like them, animals that is, but humans I can mostly do without. One day I heard the sounds of a stringed instrument. A man playing a guitar. How beautiful was its vibr a tions. Spanish Romance as I recall. I thought, no animal can make such a sound So why do I like them more? Then one day I fell into an abyss. My donkey I cried, help me from this danger, but he could not. Then I heard the vibrations of the strings and yelled Even more. Yes, this man tied together his strings and pulled me from the abyss. Why did you destroy your instrument to save me I asked. He could not speak for an animal had taken his voice. So now I like humans, Mostly!
