CIVILIZED ANIMALS

   A horse that traveled inside a bus beside a snake and looked through the window, said:

   -Sometimes I wish to be a true horse again and to come back to run through that grasslands…

  And the snake agreed with the horse: 

  -I also would like to be a true snake again.

  But the horse looked at the eyes of the snake and terrified:

  -But we mustn’t. Now we are civilized animals.
