There are things that should not be explained. Should be inherent in the "human." Not so. Without further comment I leave this story of Umberto Eco, The three cosmonauts many already know. I got off http://www.educ.ar
Earth Once upon a time. And there was once Mars. Were far from each other in midair, and some were millions of planets and galaxies. The men who lived on Earth wanted to go to Mars and other planets. But they were so far away.
Anyway went to work. First satellite launched two days revolved around Earth and then return.
fired rockets after circling around the Earth, but instead of returning in the end fled from the ground action and departed into infinite space.
At first put the rocket dogs, but dogs could not speak through the radio and transmitted only "wow-wow" and the men could not understand what they saw, or where they came. Eventually found brave men, who wanted to be astronauts.
cosmonaut was so called because it began to explore the cosmos: that is, infinite space, with planets, galaxies and everything around us. The astronauts could not know if the breaking return.
wanted to conquer the stars, so that one day everyone could travel from one planet to another, because the earth had become too narrow and the number of men grew from day to day.
One day left on Earth, from three different points, three rockets. The first was an American, I was whistling a very happy occasion of jazz. The second was a Russian, a deep voice singing "Volga, Volga." The third was a black man who was smiling happily, with very white teeth in his black face.
Indeed, in those days the inhabitants of Africa, finally free, had proved as adept as whites to build cities, and-naturally-machines cosmonauts. The three wanted to be first to Mars to prove who was the best.
The U.S. did not want the Russian and the Russian did not want the U.S., and especially since the U.S. to say good day saying "how do you do?" Russian and said "ZPABCTBYUTGE." So it is not understood and felt different.
The two also did not want to black because it was a different color. So it is not understood.
As the three were very brave, arrived at Mars around the same time came the night
. There was about them a strange silence, and the Earth shone in the sky like a distant star.
The cosmonauts felt sad and lost and the U.S. in the darkness he called mom. He said "Mamie" ... And the Russian said, "Mama" ... And the black man said, "Mbamba."
But he quickly realized that they were saying the same thing and had the same feelings. It was so he smiled, came together a good little fire lit, and each sang songs of their country. Then armed themselves with courage and while waiting for the dawn learned to know.
At last day came, it was very cold. Suddenly, a small group of trees came a Martian. It was really horrible to see it! It was all green, it had two antennas instead of ears, a trunk and six arms. He looked and said: GRRR! In their language it wanted say: "Mother! who are these horrible things?!". But the land did not understand and thought that her call was a roar of war. It was thus decided to kill him with atomic blasters.
But suddenly, amid the great cold of dawn, a bird of Mars, which evidently had escaped from the nest fell to the ground shivering with cold and fear. Piaba desperate, more or less like a bird land. Was really worthwhile.
The American, Russian and the black man looked at him and could not restrain a tear of sympathy. At that time something strange happened. Mars also approached the bird, looked and left two strands of smoke escaping from the tube. And the land, suddenly, they realized that the Martian was crying. In its way, as the Martians cry. Then they saw the bird bent over and stood between her six arms trying to keep her warm.
The black, who once had been persecuted because he had black skin and that's why I knew how things are, his friends said land: - Did you notice? We felt that this monster was different from us, but he also loves animals, knows moved, has a heart and no doubt a brain! Do they still have to kill him?
was not necessary to take such a question. The land had
Lesson learned: that two people are different does not mean they should be enemies. Therefore approached the Martian you a hand.
And he, who was six, I shook hands with all three at the same time, while the remaining free was gestures of greeting. And pointing to the Earth, far in heaven, made them understand by signs that would travel there to meet other people and explore with them how to establish a republic space where all are loved and agreed.
The land they say yes and to celebrate the event offered a cigarette. The Martian, very happy, it was introduced in the nose and started smoking. But the more land is not offended. They understood that, both on Earth and on other planets, each one has its own customs, but that's only a matter of understand each other.
