Home Sweet Home - Hogar, dulce hogar
Home Sweet Home
As usual, I came home late, and the little ones were already asleep. I can only enjoy being with them on weekends. Their mother takes care of feeding and raising them the rest of the time.
Today has been a terrifying day.
Shortly after I arrived, a huge and strange earthquake began. The vibrations repeated every five seconds or so, shaking the very foundations of our home.
Frightened, I looked out the window and discovered what was happening.
Someone, armed with a huge axe, was cutting down the gigantic tree we have lived in for years.
Ignoring my desperate cries for help, he kept striking the base of the trunk again and again.
During our neighborhood meetings, we often comment that this part of the forest has become a dangerous place.
We are a peaceful community of parrots, parakeets, and canaries.
But lately, these restless humans have been making our lives impossible.
Hoy ha sido un día de infarto.
Poco después de llegar, comienza un enorme y extraño terremoto. Las vibraciones se repiten cada cinco segundos aproximadamente y hacen temblar todos los cimientos de nuestro hogar.
Asustado, me asomo por la ventana y descubro lo que ocurre.
Alguien, provisto de una enorme hacha, está talando el gigantesco árbol en el que vivimos desde hace años.
Ajeno a mis llamadas de socorro, continúa descargando golpe tras golpe sobre la base del tronco.
En nuestras reuniones de vecinos comentamos a menudo que esta parte del bosque se ha convertido en una zona peligrosa.
Somos una comunidad tranquila de loros, periquitos y canarios.
Pero, de un tiempo a esta parte, estos inquietos humanos nos están haciendo la vida imposible.
