The true nature

Paola Flores & Erick Gómez

A crow was walking through the city when he encountered a frog. The frog was eating her meals with enough vegetables and fruits, as every animal did, when they saw each other. The crow went to fit by the frog, and they started talking. -Hey, crow, how is the weather this week? -, asked the frog, -The ant of the weather said it was going to be rainy. A storm is approaching. - the crow answered with a shake of his beak. -Oh, I better prepare my house for the upcoming chaos. - -Let's go to the movies, there is a new one I have been wanting to see. - said the crow while grabbing the frog's arm.

And so, they went to the cinema inside a mall and have a great time. The rooms of the whole mall were cushioned and were really safe. Every place in the city was safe, as the animals knew that being safe was a principal necessity.

coming out of the movie, when they were on the electric stairs, about to head out of the mall, the frog got distracted watching a fly.

Suddenly the frog tripped and fell under the stairs. She was injured and everyone in the room got close to see the situation. The zebra, the ant, the lion, the ant bear, and everyone were around the frog, asking if she was okay, as the civilized animal they were.

It was here when the crow perceived a different smell, a smell that was calling him and something new inside his chest, it was the smell of a prey and its vital fluids. The crow started feeling anxious and desperate. In front of everyone, and with a flutter of the crow's wings, the frog disappeared, leaving only a smear of blood and the crow being the only one in the center of the crowd. Poor frog devoured in her most vulnerable time by someone she considered a friend.

With his action the crow unleashed his and everyone else around him primal instincts, it had been centuries since an animal had eaten another living being, and with his sole action everyone else started to attack, activating the forgotten food chain.

The zebra started to run from the scene at the same time that the lion roared and stated hunting. The ant bear went searching for the ant with no reason in his mind, his body moving on its own, searching for his pray.

The news spread in the whole animal kingdom, and in no time many "new" relationships were created. There was nothing to call a civilization now, many animals hunted, and many others hide from them building burrows and being forced to find a hiding place. The world was no longer a safe place. Chaos started.

Moral:

The change of state of a person, does not change their instincts.
