Opening the reader…
Un león había sido herido de gravedad por los cuernos de una cabra a la que se estaba comiendo. Estaba furioso. ¡Cómo se atrevía un animal al que había elegido para su comida a llevar cosas tan peligrosas como cuernos y a arañarlo mientras comía!
A lion had been badly hurt by the horns of a goat he was eating. He was furious. How dare an animal he had picked for his meal wear such dangerous things as horns and scratch him while he ate!
Así que ordenó a todos los animales con cuernos que abandonaran sus tierras en veinticuatro horas.
So he ordered all animals with horns to leave his land within twenty-four hours.
La orden llenó de terror a los animales. Todos los desafortunados que tenían cuernos empezaron a hacer las maletas y a marcharse.
The order filled the animals with terror. All the unlucky ones who had horns began to pack up and move out.
Incluso la liebre, que no tiene cuernos, como sabéis, y no tenía nada que temer, pasó una noche inquieta, soñando cosas horribles sobre el terrible león.
Even the hare, who has no horns, as you know, and had nothing to fear, had a restless night, dreaming awful dreams about the terrible lion.
Y cuando salió de su madriguera con la luz del sol de la mañana y vio la sombra de sus orejas largas y puntiagudas, sintió un miedo terrible.
And when he came out of his burrow in the early morning sunshine and saw the shadow of his long, pointed ears, he was seized by a terrible fright.
«Adiós, vecino Grillo», gritó. «Me voy. Seguro que dirá que mis orejas son cuernos, no importa lo que le diga».
“Goodbye, neighbor Cricket,” he called. “I’m leaving. He’ll surely say my ears are horns, no matter what I tell him.”
No deis a vuestros enemigos ni el más pequeño motivo para atacar vuestro buen nombre.
Don’t give your enemies even the smallest reason to attack your good name.
Vuestros enemigos aprovecharán cualquier excusa para atacaros.
Your enemies will grab any excuse to attack you.
