The Seagull and the Storm


The terrible storm had destroyed their wings and their desire to live, no sea gulls feels
like to live when the storm has broken its wings.It was an epic
storm, the gull had never seen anything like that, his piercing amber
eyes had seen before, from the sky, threatening masses of clouds,
black clouds and dirty clouds seemed to want to kill his step, all
life under them.But nothing like the storm.In fact I was not
even prepared for bumps and tumbles all you got, because after that
morning sun and beach games, fighting here and there playing with his
friends, for that elusive sardines, the afternoon seemed quiet.But
the storm came without warning, by the back door, lightning made
​​the feathers bristling, and his soul was filled with fear and
grief, thinking of what would come upon him.The storm unleashed
its fury on his little world, and could hardly believe his eyes were
seeing.He put his face against the wind, he had tried his wings
endure the fury of the waves, tried to fly, he tried to ask the
terrible storm because she was doing this on the beautiful beach,
just a few hours before, was full of hope, full of games, and full of
illusions.But the storm did not answer, just struck with fury on
the beach.A storm from silence, a storm of ... nothing, nothing, nothing. Only the silence.
And the silent storm
ripped the wings of the seagull.

Mientras tanto, los chiquitines corren para ponerse a salvo - Meanwhile, the little ones run to safety


Las olas de cebada y trigo se estrellan, rompen fieramente, contra el arrecife de encinas y robles, mientras las colinas asisten impávidas a la eterna pelea.
Los arbitros son los gorriones, los verderones, los petirrojos, y las águilas, y los insectos intentan poner orden y calma, con su caminar nervioso, en medio de todo ese lío, y están preocupados por la pelea. Todos saben que los chiquitines siempre llevan la peor parte cuando se meten entre gigantes.

The barley and wheat waves crashing, breaking fiercely against the oaks reef, while the hills assist, blind and deaf, to the eternal fight.
The referees are the sparrows, greenfinches, robins and eagles, and insects to bring order and calm, with his nervous walking in the middle of all this mess, and are concerned about the fight. Everyone knows that the little ones always bear the brunt of the fighting between giants.
