Just one Rule

 

There it was all the animals where happy and everything was good. Everyone has a job, each animal had to complete unique tasks in order of everyone can live together. Like the rabbits, they deliver each morning the news paper to everyone. The monkeys, they cook for everyone in their restaurant. The bears, they are in charge of the hospital, they take cares of the babies, when the babies grow up, they help their parents on their tasks. Everything was awesome, fishes, giraffes, elephants, gorillas, coyotes, turtles, everyone were friends, and everyone helped each other, but there was just one rule, one rule only, one rule that can never be violated, If some animal does not work on what he is supposed to work, everything will be a chaos. One day, after the rabbits delivered the news paper, after de monkeys cook for every animal in the jungle, after the elephants clean all the animals, after the tigers harvest all the food, after the fishes clean the river, a baby was born, a little sheep. The sheep are in charge of making clothes, because no animal can be naked at the jungle. When the baby sheep grow up, he start making clothes like the other sheep in the jungle, but he was different, he did not like to make clothes, he was a lazy sheep, he did not wanted to work, every time he worked, he always make awful clothes. The parents of this sheep tried every day to make him understand that he was born to make beautiful cloth for everyone on earth. He was so tired of the other sheep, tired of doing what everyone else expected him to do, so he left home. He started walking without having a particular destination. Night and day passed, he was feeling tired and he started to listen to his own breath and how depressing it was to know that he was by himself looking for something that not even him knew what it was. Then, out of nowhere he heard something… “pst”. The sheep didn´t know if he should stop or not, but he was so tired that stopping seemed like a good idea. Even having the sun rising up and lighting directly into his eyes he saw from far away something green. “Who are you?” the sheep asked. “I´m a frog, can´t you see?” Later on the sheep found out that the frog was there for the same exact reasons, he didn’t like what the frogs did, even when they were supposed to be meant for it. While they were chatting water started to fill the floor, it started to cover their feet. They looked into each other´s eyes and did what they loved to do; they created a shelter with wood. Even when the other frogs and sheep didn’t know how to work with wood, they did. They saved all of the other animals by creating wood shelters. All of the animals were saved by two animals that did something they were not supposed to know how to do; they were saved from animals that actually did what they loved to do.
