In the woods there are, who knows, maybe a thousand trees.
And the wind in the leaves, blowing back and forth,
seems to whisper, once upon a time…
… Some animals speaking animalese:
there was a soft-hearted crocodile
and a snail-meter;
there was also a squirrel and a cricket
and a beaver that could be a doctor if he were human
and a crow pretending to be a singer
and an ill-tempered dwarf
and also Teixeira, the badger,
plus big bear and his cub,
a little mouse that was a scooter champion,
and a very flirtatious caterpillar.
Animals in the woods are just like us,
They are more or less like us;
They say as we say: Hello how are you?
They don’t look like it but they have a lifetime, they have a heart,
They feel homesick, they have memory, they are characters
of a story similar to life.
