THE CARS

  

   

   Three horses grazed in a field along a road full of cars. One of the horses bothered with the noise of the horns, lifted his head, looked at the congested transit and saw a man putting his head out of the window car and cursing another driver. And then the horse said:

    -At the time when the men traveled mounted on horses, the things were more tranquil.

    The other horses continued grazed and the horse continued saying:

    -Nobody hears what says a horse that thinks. In my next incarnation I want to be only a little cockroach!
