Tale of the Insatisfied Man
A sad man sat down
sad on the side of the road ...
A little bird passes by and
questions:
- Why are you so sad
man ...?
- I'm sad because I wanted to
have further vision ...!
- Ah! I will talk to the eagle ...
And the eagle came and gave him all
her vision ... but man
I was still sad ...
Then little bird asked:
- Are you still sad, what are you missing ...?
Then an agonized man replied:
- I'm sad because I wanted to be
wise...!
Ah! I will talk to the owl ...!
The owl came and passed it all over
her knowledge.
-Everything fine now..? He asked
the bird ...!
- Almost everything ... now I just need
have strength ...!
- Stay calm ... well, I'll talk to the lion ...
And the lion came and gave him all the strength
he had ... so the man was silent
and quickly left ...
- Well, I realize now he complies
Aren't you an owl ...?
- Nothing ...! the man is very fickle
and dissatisfied ... soon, soon he will be again
sad wanting something else .... the man
this is it. so...
Man is never satisfied with what he has
he always wants to change and always increasingly...!
