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...! PS. Rewritten from a short story read somewhere by alkas poetry
