The Cave of Miracles
The cave was so big that a bear came in to hibernate and got
lost. To try to find it, an eagle came in, and as he flew near the ceiling he
discovered some cave paintings hidden behind some stalagmites near the
entrance. They were strange geometric figures that played with dots and curved
lines, and what was more unusual, they described the disposition of the
different labyrinths that formed the cave.
The eagle, astonished by that description, came to the
surface to explain its discovery to the World Animal Society, whose members
waited nearby.
The rhinoceros, President of the Society, proposed to use
that map to find the bear, and to investigate that discovery as soon as
possible. But there was no need to search for the bear because it came out of
the cave safe and sound. When he had calmed down, he explained that sounds
varying in intensity led him to the exit.
From that moment on, the World Society of Animals gave the
name to that cave of 'The Cave Of Miracles'.
La gruta de los milagros
La gruta era tan grande que entró un oso a hibernar y se
perdió. Para intentar encontrarlo, entró
un águila, y al volar cerca del techo descubrió unas pinturas rupestres ocultas
tras unas estalagmitas próximas a la entrada. Eran extrañas figuras geométricas
que jugaban con puntos y líneas curvas, y lo que era más insólito, describían
la disposición de los diferentes laberintos que formaban la gruta.
El águila, asombrada por aquella descripción, salió a la
superficie para explicar su descubrimiento a la Sociedad Mundial de Animales, cuyos
miembros esperaban cerca de allí.
El rinoceronte, Presidente de la Sociedad, propuso utilizar aquel
mapa para encontrar al oso, e investigar aquel descubrimiento cuanto antes.
Pero no hubo necesidad de buscar al oso porque éste salió de la gruta sano y
salvo. Cuando se hubo calmado, explicó que unos sonidos que variaban de
intensidad le condujeron hacia la salida.
A partir de aquel momento, la Sociedad Mundial de Animales
le dio el nombre a aquella caverna de ‘La gruta de los milagros’.
