THE QUAIL by SAMANIEGO
THE QUAIL
Prey in a narrow loop the simple quail,
complained to the air but she felt sorry very late.
Ah! about me, miserable and unhappy little bird,
before I SUNG FREE, Now I cry captive!
I LOST MY BELOVED NEST, I lost my delight in it .
So I lost everythimg,because I lost the life.
Why so much misfortune? Why such misery?
by a grain of wheat !oh expensive candy!
blind appetite how many precipitates,
to get nothing , sacrifice everything!
by: Samaniego
MORAL:We must not be carried away by ambition
to no fall into the trap of misfortune.
