Excursión Mojada
Francisco Gabilondo Soler (Cri Cri)
Wet Excursion
A little frog friend of mine
invited me to go with him
all the way to the riverbed
where there are pretty things to see.
I hesitated to get wet
thought about other risks too.
"-Come on, don’t be a coward,
it’s getting late! You coming or what?"
We dove
into the blue current
and as I went down:
glu glu glu glu glu glu glu...
I started to feel at ease
the fear began to fade
and the little frog smiled at me
"-What’s up! Huh?"
When I finally reached the bottom
of the spring
I felt so light
like I was flying through glass.
Where the frog makes his home
he waved for me to come in
with all his family
and one by one to greet:
The funny dad Frog
the short Uncle Frog
and with fifteen frogs
cousins of his mom.
"-To serve you"
I wanted to say to them
but all I could do was
glo glo glo glo glo glo glo...
Being underwater
by habit no one talks
but I forgot all about that!
Out of embarrassment, I blew bubbles
the little frog burst out laughing
then the little rascal
even the little rascal
even walked me to the shore!
