And a man sat alone.
Drenched deep in sadness.
And all the animals drew near to him and said:
â€We do not like to see you so sad…
Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it.â€
The man said: â€I want to have good sight.â€
The vulture replied: â€You shall have mine.â€
The Man said: â€I want to be strong.â€
The jaguar said: â€You shall be strong like me.â€
Then the Man said: â€I long to know the secrets of the earth.â€
The serpent replied: â€I will show them to you.â€
And so it went with all the animals.
And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give…
…he left.
Then the owl said to the other animals:
â€Now the Man knows much and is able to do many things…
suddenly I am afraid.â€
Then deer said: â€The man has all that he needs…
…Now his sadness will stop.â€
But the owl replied: â€No...
…I saw a hole in the Man…Deep like a hunger he will never fill…
It is what makes him sad and what makes him want…
…He will go on taking and taking…
Until one day the World will say: I am no more and I have nothing left to give.â€
