Una zanahoria colgada de un palo
a un burro hace caminar,
por tratar de lograrla alcanzar,
Ni muy largo, ni muy corto el palo
debe de ser y que la muerda alguna vez.
.
Mientras poco a poco se alarga
el palo, el burro contento lo sigue.
Dará su mejor esfuerzo y llevará la carga.
Ligero y sin pausa, trota y lo consigue.
.
El amo astuto, no abusara y lo alimentara.
Abrigo y cobijo le dará y dejará descansar.
No aumentará la carga, ni el palo alargará.
Si enferma lo cuidará y con el palo no atizara.
.
Burros hay que ladinos, descubren la ley,
son esos que ya no se esfuerzan y no hay
forma ni manera de añadirles un quintal
sin que se acuesten y exclamen un hay.
.
Burro abusado no cargara a su amo
y por demás, siempre enfermo parecerá.
No se descuide del tal o lo mordera.
Mal negocio es al burro atizar con el palo
.
Resulta mejor de manejar con la zanahoria,
que con pasto se mantiene y si acaso una
al día le das, le rascas el lomo y las orejas
Con una fábula lo entretienes y si no zas
.
A carrot hanging from a stick
makes a donkey walk,
for trying to reach her,
Neither too long nor too short the stick
it must be and that he bites her sometime.
.
while slowly lengthening
the stick, the happy donkey follows him.
He will do his best and carry the load.
Lightly and without pause, he jogs and gets it.
.
The cunning master, will not abuse and feed him.
Shelter and shelter will give you and let you rest .
It will not increase the load, nor will the pole lengthen.
If he gets sick, he will take care of him and he won't hit him with the stick.
.
Donkeys there are ladinos, they discover the law,
they are those who no longer make an effort and there are none
way or way to add a quintal
without lying down and exclaiming a there.
.
Abused donkey will not carry his master
and for others, he will always seem sick.
Do not neglect it or it will bite.
Bad business is to hit the donkey with the stick
.
It is better to handle with the carrot,
that with grass is maintained and if perhaps one
The day you give him, you scratch his back and ears.
You entertain him with a fable and if you don't bang
.
