En una caja de cereal vacía
un mosquito vivía,
el perezoso solo dormía
y se levantaba a medio día.
A esa hora mi ensalada veía
y sin vergüenza la comía,
al terminar, a su casa volvía
a aquella caja de cereal vacía.
In an empty cereal box
a mosquito lived,
the lazy creature just slept
and woke up at noon.
At that hour, it would spot my salad
and shamelessly eat it,
and when it was done, it would return home
to that empty cereal box.
Un día de esto me aburrí
y tome la caja, la sacudí,
el animal cayó, yo lo ví
y se quedó quieto ahí.
Intenté moverlo con un tenedor
y me percaté de que se desmayó,
le di un masaje reanimador
y el mosquito el aliento recobró.
One day I got bored
and picked up the box, shook it,
the bug fell out, I saw it
and it just lay there.
I tried to move it with a fork
and realized it had fainted,
I gave it CPR
and the mosquito came back to life.
Tras está aventura sentí pesar
no quiero al animal lastimar,
regresé la caja de cereal
y la dejé para que volviera a su hogar.
También le puse un adorno
un letrero pomposo,
para que todos sepan que es del mosco
y nadie intenté desalojarlo de su entorno.
After this adventure, I felt sorry for it,
I didn’t want to hurt the little creature,
so I returned the cereal box
and left it there so it could go back home.
I also put a decoration on it,
a fancy sign,
so everyone would know it belonged to the fly
and no one would try to drive it away from its home.
