His tears bathed his clear green eyes,His little body crawled along, with its mud stained bottom, With the rag ball, with the cat and with the dog, and the horse looked on... The horse was another playmate in that small space, and the animal seemed to like that job, With the rag ball, with the cat and with the dog, and with little Luchín all wet and cold. If there are other children like Luchín, eating earth and worms like hungry birds, then lets open their cages so they may fly like birds, With the rag ball, with the cat and with the dog, and also with the horse. |
