PEEKING OUT OF THE WINDOW OF THE CASCADE
In a nest on the bank of a river, covered with dry leaves, under the sand warmed by the summer sun, a litter of eggs were about to hatch, from one of them a small window had been broken, through it, the little creature contemplated the outside world, beyond its small window.
He was able to observe, the bright light of the sun, which blinded him at times, after blinking several times accommodated his vision, he was able to see some newborn ducklings, which were splashing in the stream.
With admiration, he saw how some small birds could fly, the green foliage, the multicolored flowers, he could hear the birds' trill. In the background, I was convinced that he would be like one of those beautiful birds.
He imagined that he would soar into the sky, that he would lull the world with his song, an amazing world was waiting for him beyond the window. The other eggs sounded, creaking, pushing him, to the point of turning him over, suddenly his window was left on the sand, his brothers struggled to get out.
So the little one, also pushed, but he sank deeper into the sand, he knew he had to fight to get out to the world that awaited him, he could feel the heat of the sun at his side, how could he turn his shell until again, the light came in through his window.
Before him, the landscape with its colors, invited him to struggle to get out, he pushed more often the shell until it became bigger, he could feel some of the breeze, but also more sand.
Suddenly he felt fear, from the eggs around him small creatures had already come out, nothing like the ones he had seen before, they were green with shades of gray, they were crawling on the sand.
His fear grew when he realized that he himself was not a songbird or a graceful chick, he realized that he was just a turtle like his brothers, he would never fly, nor sing, he would only crawl to his pond with the load on his shell.
He understood that the world he had dreamed of was not for him and that everything was different from the window of the shell to reality.
