A cronopio runs across a solitary flower in the middle of the fields.

At first he’s about to pull it out,
     but thinks its an unnecessary cruelty
     and gets down on his knees beside it and plays lightheartedly with the flower, to know:he caresses the petals, he blows on it to make it dance, buzzes like a bee, smells its perfume, and finally he lies down under the flower and falls asleep enveloped in a great peace.


     The flower thinks: “He’s like a flower.”
