Muy buenas a todos, les saluda nuevamente Crimson Fox y les doy mi más cordial bienvenida a un nuevo post, en esta ocasión para compartir con ustedes una fábula que escribí hace poco, soy nuevo en esto así que cualquier sugerencia que quieran hacer será recibida con mucho aprecio. Sin más dilación, empecemos.
The Rebel cat and the value of family ────────────❮✿❯──────────── El gato Rebelde y el valor de la familia.
In an empty alley in a big city lived a family of cats, one old cat, two parents, and the four brothers, Responsible, the oldest, Vain and Shy, the middle ones, and Rebel, the youngest.
They lived quietly in their alley, sometimes being buffeted by the occasional storm, but being united no evil could get to them. Family and values were the most important thing to them, what must be protected, what must endure generation after generation, one must give one's life for the family and live only for the family. But one of the cats did not agree with this way of life.
En un callejón vacío de una gran ciudad vivía una familia de gatos, uno anciano, dos padres, y los cuatro hermanos, Responsable, el mayor, Vanidoso y Tímido, los de en medio, y Rebelde, el menor.
Ellos vivían tranquilamente en su callejón, a veces siendo azotados por alguna que otra tormenta, pero al estar unidos no había mal que pudiera con ellos. La familia y los valores eran lo más importante para ellos, lo que ha de protegerse, lo que debe perdurar generación tras generación, uno debe dar su vida por la familia y vivir solo por la familia. Pero uno de los gatos no estaba de acuerdo con este modo de vida.
The rebellious cat, the youngest, wanted to be free, to roam around the city and have adventures, more than once he caused a scare to his parents and siblings by getting lost in the middle of the night without telling anyone.
El gato rebelde, el menor, quería ser libre, vaguear por la ciudad y tener aventuras, más de una vez le causó un susto a sus padres y a sus hermanos por perderse a mitad de la noche sin avisarle a nadie.
—Rebel! Where were you? -Mommy cat asked worriedly.
—I was walking around the corner, any problem with that?
—You had everyone so worried, you always so carefree, wanting to be noticed. - Vain reproached.
—What would you have done if you were hit by a car? Can you think even a little bit about your future? -continued Responsible.
—¡Rebelde! ¿Dónde estuviste? —preguntó mamá gata con preocupación.
—Estuve paseando por la vuelta de la esquina, ¿Algún problema con eso?
—Tenías muy preocupados a todos, tu siempre tan despreocupado queriendo llamar la atención. —reprochó Vanidoso.
—¿Qué hubieras hecho si te atropellaba un carro? ¿Puedes pensar aunque sea un poco en tu futuro?—continuó Responsable.
This was a conversation that was repeated almost every day but with a different topic, so Rebel went away annoyed without paying attention to them. He didn't despise them, he just felt misunderstood, and the only one who treated him differently was his grandfather, who understood his desire to wander around the city and told him stories about his youth as a cat who didn't want to follow the rules either.
Old cat tried to appear strong and brave, but he was a very old cat, who was supported by the care of his son and grandchildren, even so, he tried to give the best image of him to his grandson Rebel, who saw him as his role model.
Ésta era una conversación que se repetía casi todos los días pero con un tema distinto, por lo que Rebelde se iba molesto sin prestarles atención. Él no los despreciaba, sólo se sentía incomprendido, siendo el único que lo trataba diferente su abuelo, quien entendía sus ganas de dar vueltas por la ciudad y le contaba historias sobre su juventud como un gato que tampoco quería seguir las reglas.
Anciano gato trataba de mostrarse fuerte y valiente, pero era un gato muy viejo, que se mantenía con los cuidados de su hijo y sus nietos, aun así trataba de dar la mejor imagen de él hacia su nieto Rebelde, quien lo veía como su modelo a seguir.
One day the cat family decided to go to a nearby festival and they entrusted Rebel to Old cat, asking him to please take care of him while they were away, to which he gladly accepted even though deep down he also wanted to go.
After the family had left, Rebel hears fireworks, screams, and mechanical sounds produced by attractions, which fuels his curiosity level to the limit, so much so that it was hard for him to hide his desire to go. Elder cat realizing this tells him that he can go and that he will leave him there.
Un día la familia gatuna decide ir a un festival cercano y le encargan al Anciano gato a Rebelde, pidiéndole que por favor lo cuidaran mientras ellos no estaban, a lo que él acepta con gusto pese a que en el fondo también quería ir.
Al rato de haberse ido la familia, Rebelde escucha fuegos artificiales, gritos, y sonidos mecánicos producidos por atracciones, lo que aviva su nivel de curiosidad hasta el límite, tanto que ya le costaba ocultar sus ganas por ir. Anciano gato al darse cuenta de esto le dice que puede ir y que lo dejara allí.
—Really?! -asked Rebel with astonishment and excitement.
—¡¿En serio?! —preguntó Rebelde con asombro y emoción.
Old Cat nodded, but on the condition that he would not take too long. Rebel didn't think twice and ran to the festival. Once there, Rebel was amazed by the display of lights, colors, and people having fun.
Anciano gato asintió, pero poniéndole la condición de no tardarse mucho. Rebelde no lo pensó dos veces y corrió hacia el festival. Una vez allí Rebelde se sintió maravillado por el despliegue de luces, colores y personas divirtiéndose.
—It's getting dark already, maybe I should go back. -Rebel thought.
—*Ya está oscureciendo, tal vez debería regresar. *—intuyó Rebelde.
Rebel was on his way out of the festival, but he came across a group of circus animals practicing tricks, approaching them almost instantly and joining them. After a few minutes, their practice was interrupted by drops of water that began to fall on them with gradually increasing force, it had begun to rain.
The rain was so heavy that they had to seek shelter, Rebel was worried, he felt alone and could do nothing but wait, regretting more and more his decision. When the rain stopped it was already late at night, there was no one around, the circus animals were taken away by their cuddly owners while Rebel watched them with a feeling of emptiness, thinking about his family.
Sinking in his thoughts he returned to his home, suddenly he remembered the reason why he was not with his family, someone who had been entrusted to him and whom he had to take care of.
Rebelde se encaminaba para salir del festival, pero se encuentra con un grupo de animales circenses practicando trucos, acercándose a ellos casi al instante y uniéndoseles. Al cabo de unos minutos su práctica se ve interrumpida por unas gotas de agua que empezaron a caer sobre ellos con una fuerza que aumentaba gradualmente, había comenzado a llover.
La lluvia era tan fuerte que tuvieron que buscar refugio, Rebelde estaba preocupado, se sentía solo y no podía hacer nada más que esperar, arrepintiéndose cada vez más de su decisión. Cuando cesó la lluvia ya era muy de noche, no había nadie en los alrededores, los animales circenses fueron llevados por sus mimosos dueños mientras Rebelde los observaba con un sentimiento de vacío, pensando en su familia.
Hundido en sus pensamientos regresaba a su hogar, de pronto recordó el motivo por el que no estaba con su familia, alguien que se le había encargado y a quien debía cuidar.
—… Grandpa!—exclaimed the cat.
—…¡Abuelo! —exclamó el gato.
Rebel rushed back to his home, wishing nothing bad had happened, but unfortunately... It was already too late. His home had been washed away by the rain, everything destroyed, nothing was left, not even the cushion he used to tear when he was bored, not even the battered stuffed animal he played with, not even the puddle where they bathed, everything was simply gone, even that figure that watched everyone peacefully from his special cushion... Old cat was gone.
Rebelde salió corriendo a toda prisa hasta su hogar, deseando que no hubiera pasado nada malo, pero lamentablemente… Ya era demasiado tarde. Su hogar había sido arrasado por la lluvia, todo destrozado, no quedaba nada, ni el cojín que solía rasgar cuando estaba aburrido, ni el peluche maltratado con el que jugaba, ni el charco en el que se bañaban, simplemente todo se había ido, hasta esa figura que observaba a todos pacíficamente desde su cojín especial… Anciano gato se había ido.
The whole family was meowing in pain while Rebel watched the scene with bewilderment and an indescribable feeling of guilt. Vain stops his meowing and looks at Rebel out of the corner of his eye, with a hateful expression, which manages to intimidate him and makes him run away.
He ran, ran, ran, ran, and kept running, even if no one was chasing him, he felt so guilty that he didn't want to go to his family, fearing for their reaction, for what they would say, for the pain he would feel knowing that everything was his fault.
Toda la familia estaba maullando con dolor mientras Rebelde observaba la escena con perplejidad y un sentimiento de culpa indescriptible. Vanidoso detiene su maullido y mira a Rebelde de reojo, con una expresión de odio, los cuales logran intimidarlo y hacen que huya.
Huyó, huyó, huyó, y siguió huyendo, incluso si nadie lo perseguía, se sentía tan culpable que no quería ir con su familia, temiendo por su reacción, por lo que dirían, por el dolor que sentiría sabiendo que todo era su culpa.
Days, weeks, even months went by, Rebel wandered around the city, the city he had wanted to travel so much and where he wanted to have fun without worrying about anything, but no similar feelings lay inside the cat at that moment, only moans and great loneliness, dirty, tired, mistreated, cold and hungry, spending all that time with no one to hug when sleeping, no one to bother, no one to tell him stories, no one to laugh with... He had moved away from everything because of his huge failure, wishing to return to the time when he was happy with Old cat and his brothers, but entering into a great depression knowing that those times he did not even take advantage of would not return.
He had accepted his end, he decided to lie down in a secluded alley, after walking for so long without eating or drinking anything he was already tired, he didn't feel like moving even a paw, and he thought it was his time, wishing to see his brothers even one last time, but feeling a little relieved because he would be able to see Elder cat again, so at least apologize for all the evils he has caused to the family he should have appreciated so much...
Pasaron los días, las semanas, hasta los meses, Rebelde vagaba por la ciudad, ciudad que tanto había querido recorrer y en la que quería divertirse sin preocuparse por nada, pero ningún sentimiento similar yacía en ese momento dentro del gato, sólo lamentos y una gran soledad, sucio, cansado, maltratado, con frío y con hambre, pasando todo ese tiempo sin nadie a quien abrazar al dormir, sin nadie a quien molestar, sin nadie que le contara historias, sin nadie con quien reír…
Se había alejado de todo por su enorme fallo, deseando regresar a la época en el que era feliz junto al anciano gato y a sus hermanos, pero entrando en una gran depresión al saber que no volverán esos tiempos que ni siquiera aprovechó.
Había aceptado su fin, decidió acostarse en un callejón apartado, después de caminar tanto tiempo sin comer ni beber nada ya estaba cansado, no tenía ganas de mover ni una pata, y creyó que ya era su tiempo, deseando ver a sus hermanos aunque sea una última vez, pero sintiéndose un poco aliviado porque sería capaz de ver a Anciano gato otra vez, así al menos disculparse por todos los males que le ha causado a la familia que tanto debió apreciar…
—Rebelde… ¡Aquí estás! —exclamó Tímido con sus ojos llenos de lágrimas.
—Rebel... Here you are! -Shy exclaimed with his eyes full of tears.
As Rebel reopens his eyes he sees his family surrounding him, not knowing what to say, with tremendous sorrow and pain he tries to utter a few words but is silenced by his mother, followed by a caress and hugging him with her tail.
The family had spent all this time searching for him with no success and no clues, they had accepted the worst, but finding him even in that deplorable state was the greatest blessing they could receive. Rebel worried about his family's feelings, but rather than blaming him for what happened to Elder cat, they feared he would have ended up like him, so Vain put his pride aside and apologized to his younger brother for scaring him away.
En lo que Rebelde vuelve a abrir sus ojos ve a su familia rodeándolo, sin saber qué decir, con una pena y un dolor tremendo trata de pronunciar unas palabras, pero es silenciado por su madre, seguida de una caricia y abrazarlo con su cola.
La familia había pasado todo este tiempo buscándolo sin éxito y sin pistas, habían aceptado lo peor, pero encontrarlo aunque fuera en ese estado deplorable fue la mayor bendición que pudieron recibir. Rebelde se preocupaba por los sentimientos de su familia, pero más que culparlo por lo que le pasó a Anciano gato, temían que hubiera terminado como él, por lo que Vanidoso dejó su orgullo de lado y se disculpó con su hermano menor por haberlo espantado.
The family had been reunited again, they found a new home, and learned to accept and value each other more, maybe it was no longer complete, but that missing member will be with them forever in their hearts, through thick and thin, so they can make the most of their time with their loved ones in this life more finite than it seems, and to understand that family should be there to support, care for, and appreciate each other for who they are, even that young and rebellious spirit that lives in all of us.
La familia se había reunido otra vez, encontraron un nuevo hogar, y aprendieron a aceptarse y a valorarse más, tal vez ya no estaba completa, pero ese miembro que les falta los acompañará por siempre en sus corazones, en las buenas y en las malas, para que aprovechen el tiempo con sus seres queridos en esta vida más finita de lo que parece, y para que comprendan que la familia debe estar para apoyarse, cuidarse, y apreciarse por lo que son, incluso a ese espíritu joven y rebelde que vive en todos nosotros.
