Camelo Pardalis
By Dayana M Suárez A
Corriendo ajilmente Camelo llegó a orillas de un rio donde todos se refrescaban.
---- ¡Muchachos!¡Muchachos!, ¡corran por sus vidas!---- Todos asustados corrieron cada quién por su lado, la cabra huyó en dirección a las montañas, las cebras, ñués y gacelas a los matorrales, el hipopótamo a los estanques,todos huyendo, corriendo desvocados, sin frenos, de pronto una garza detiene su vuelo y grita.
----¡Alto! que nadie se mueva---- al instante todos se detuvieron, sin mover ni una sola pestaña. Enseguida Camelo sonrió y les gritó a todos.
----Perfecto, estamos preparados, sigan con su descanso a orillas de este hermoso y reconfortante rio---- inmediatamente, todos regresaron a refrescarse, a comer de los arbustos, a darse un baño.
Esto ocurria varias veces al día, todos practicaban, eran precavidos, en la selva africana nada se sabe, nada es seguro, todos tenían que cuidarse de los más feroces, de aquellos carnívoros que serían capaces de devorarlos sin piedad, por esa razón cada tanto hacían ejercicios de simulacro, donde cada uno participaba de forma muy comprometida.
Días antes una manada de leones que venían de lejos, cansados, con hambre, agotados de tanta sequía y nada de comer, al fin vieron la luz, habían llegado hasta un lugar que al verlo les dió esperanza, divisaron un rio, este a pesar de estar desolado, significaba para ellos que pronto obtendrían comida, así que escondidos entre arbustos desde lejos decidieron esperar su momento.
Llegó la tarde, los animales estaban cansados de tanto practicar, pero estaba por caer la noche, llegaría pronto la hora de ocultarse para dormir, pero de pronto tal y como lo hizo durante todo el día llegó Camelo corriendo, con la lengua afuera, casi no le salían las palabras, las garzas salieron despavoridas, hubo un susto generalizado, se formó una estampida de cebras, ñués y gacelas, todas las aves se espantaron y de repente Camelo cayó al suelo, le habían brincado tres feroces leonas, que se aferraron a sus carnes con sus colmillos. Camelo desplomado en el piso, no podía levantarse, otras dos leonas aprovecharon tal debilidad para perforar su cuello, nadie pudo hacer nada, hasta ese momento llegó la vida de Camelo.
Días antes del terrible suceso un grupo de turistas llegaron cerca del rio, maravillados por tanta naturaleza junta. Una pareja que tomaba cualquier cantidad de fotos al ver la estampa del rio comentaron entre sí.
---- Jorge, esto es extremadamente hermoso, obtendré grandes imágenes para mi trabajo publicitario----
----Que bueno que te guste cariño, yo realmente quería ver todo este paisaje, salir de la ciudad ha sido un alivio para tanto estres----
----Pensar que la naturaleza nos da la oportunidad de disfrutar de tanta belleza y nosostros nos enfrascamos en sufrir dentro de cuatro paredes de una oficina----
-----Tienes razón cariño, sigamos disfrutando estas maravillas---- de esa forma no duraron más de 40 minutos en el lugar y todo el grupo se retiró.
El mismo día en que los leones devoraban a Camelo, un grupo de hombres pertenecientes a una tribu local, madrugaron caminando hasta llegar a las cercanías del rio, al verlo de lejos decidieron que era el lugar correcto para colocar algunas trampas y regresar al día siguiente. Así lo hicieron, al volver se toparon con las patas entrampadas de Camelo, quien realmente cayó al suelo más que derribado por las leonas, por el tropiezo al caer en una trampa de cazadores, la cual le impiodió seguir corriendo y callendo al suelo para ser devorado inevitablemente.
Un día antes, autoridades de organismos de preservación y cuidado de la vida silvestre, habían transitado por el lugar, tomando nota de la fauna que observaban, del nivel del rio, del estado de la vegetación y la humedad de los suelos,lamentablemente no vieron la trampa de los cazadores, eso hubiese sido quizá, la salvación de Camelo, aunque sabemos que en la naturaleza las reglas de supervivencia son, están y no se discuten, simplemente se cumplen.

Camelo Pardalis
By Dayana M Suárez A
Camelo ran quickly and reached the banks of a river where everyone was refreshing themselves.
---- Boys! boys! boys! run for your lives! ---- All frightened ran each one on his side, the goat fled towards the mountains, the zebras, wildebeests and gazelles to the bushes, the hippopotamus to the ponds, all fleeing, running without brakes, suddenly a heron stops his flight and shouts.
---- Stop! Nobody move! ---- instantly everyone stopped, without moving a single eyelash. Then Camelo smiled and shouted to everyone.
----Perfect, we are ready, continue with your rest on the banks of this beautiful and comforting river ---- immediately, everyone returned to cool off, to eat from the bushes, to take a bath.
This happened several times a day, everyone practiced, they were cautious, in the African jungle nothing is known, nothing is certain, everyone had to watch out for the fiercest, those carnivores that would be able to devour them without mercy, for that reason every now and then they did simulation exercises, where everyone participated in a very committed way.
Days before a herd of lions that came from far away, tired, hungry, exhausted from so much drought and nothing to eat, finally saw the light, they had reached a place that gave them hope, they saw a river, this despite being desolate, meant to them that they would soon get food, so hiding in the bushes from afar they decided to wait for their moment.
The afternoon arrived, the animals were tired from so much practice, but night was about to fall, it would soon be time to hide to sleep, but suddenly, just as he had done all day long, Camelo arrived running, with his tongue hanging out, he could hardly get the words out, The herons came out in panic, there was a generalized scare, a stampede of zebras, wildebeests and gazelles, all the birds were frightened and suddenly Camelo fell to the ground, three ferocious lionesses had jumped on him, clinging to his flesh with their fangs. Camelo collapsed on the ground, he could not get up, two other lionesses took advantage of such weakness to pierce his neck, nobody could do anything, until that moment Camelo's life came to an end.
Days before the terrible event, a group of tourists arrived near the river, amazed by so much nature together. A couple who were taking any number of pictures of the river commented among themselves.
---- Jorge, this is extremely beautiful, I will get great images for my advertising work----
----I'm glad you like it honey, I really wanted to see all this scenery, getting out of the city has been a relief from so much stress----
----To think that nature gives us the opportunity to enjoy so much beauty and we get caught up in suffering inside four walls of an office----
-----You're right honey, let's keep enjoying these wonders---- that way they didn't last more than 40 minutes in the place and the whole group left.
The same day that the lions devoured Camelo, a group of men belonging to a local tribe, walked early in the morning until they reached the vicinity of the river, seeing it from afar they decided that it was the right place to place some traps and return the next day. So they did, and when they returned they found Camelo's legs trapped, who actually fell to the ground more than knocked down by the lionesses, because he stumbled when he fell into a hunter's trap, which prevented him from continuing running and falling to the ground to be inevitably devoured.
A day before, authorities from wildlife preservation and care organizations had passed by the place, taking note of the fauna they observed, the level of the river, the state of the vegetation and the humidity of the soil. Unfortunately, they did not see the hunters' trap, which would have been perhaps Camelo's salvation, although we know that in nature the rules of survival are, are and are not discussed, they are simply complied with.
