Un gusano bien feo
que en la manzana vivía contento,
sintio un olor nuevo
y se subió en los maduros un momento.
Desde allá algo vio
que llamó su atención,
con afán se bajó
y del lugar se marchó.
A really ugly worm
who lived happily in the apple,
smelled a new scent
and climbed up onto the ripe ones for a moment.
From up there, he saw something
that caught his attention,
so he hurriedly climbed down
and left the spot.
Llegó hasta donde había una taza
y observó una torta parda,
era un brownie que reposaba
y se subió de manera espontánea.
Sobre el alimento se acomodó,
sentía que su masa era la mejor,
pensó que sería un hogar mejor,
hasta que alguien llegó.
He made his way over to where there was a cup
and spotted a brown cake,
it was a brownie that had been left to rest,
and he climbed onto it without thinking.
He settled down on the treat,
feeling that its batter was the best,
thinking it would make a better home,
until someone came along.
Era la cuchara de madera
que se acercó y le dijo que se subiera
se lo llevó con cautela
y lo acercó hasta la puerta.
El gusano entendió
que aquí no lo quieren hoy
y aunque mucho le ofendió,
en una planta se ubico y vivió mejor.
It was the wooden spoon
that came over and told him to climb on
it carried him carefully
and brought him to the door.
The worm realized
that they didn’t want him here today,
and although he was very offended,
he settled on a plant and lived better there.
