There once was a small flea that wasn’t happy with its life. He found it so monotonous that he wanted to change it very, very hardly.
He thought and thought ‘till he found that the best way to acknowledge the World was in the back of other animals. So he went for it! He gave this really big jump that could be a record for all fleas, so big was his will!...
It was so big of a jump that he actually found a bird.
It was great because he saw the entire World from the clouds. What great views he discovered! It was sometimes like ridding a Carousel, going up now and later vertiginously down, now fast and then slower…
I guess because fleas are very tiny and don’t live long; he was in a hurry to change his ride after only one day…
This time he gave another blind jump and ended up in a garden. It was a very nice one.
It had a pond with some frogs. – Hum - he thought – It must be a nice point of view from a frog’s back. I shall try it!
As soon as he could, there he was, ridding this big wet and green frog. At first the sensation wasn’t so nice… always wet… But O.K., it was all in name of adventure! But as soon as the frog jumped into the water… - Uuuh… Oooooh! - An air bubble builded around his body and he went back to surface like an astronaut in a balloon! He only had the chance for a glimpse… It wasn’t his element, really!
Dizzy and frustrated, he started searching for his next outing.
Carefully he jumped onto a dog’s back. It was a safe ride, he thought. Besides, he didn’t think of a snack before he left home…
Grabbing a long hair from his new friend’s head, he experienced the joy of running through the grass, sleeping in the sun and discovering cities. But he was curious about houses and a homeless dog couldn’t enter one – that much, he knew – he was a very well informed flea!
When he saw a cat hiding from the dog, without even thinking, he grabbed the opportunity.
Again the running through everywhere, sleeping in the sun… - But I’ve done that already, go into a house please! – He told it the cat so many times that he finally acceded to his request, cats are always very hard to convince!...
As the cat entered, he started playing with his favorite toy – a small stuffed white mouse. He jumped, run; hided under a card on the floor, crawled to finally grab a string with a feather in plain air. Crazy cat! Now he wouldn’t stop for a minute. After drinking some water, the ride went back to its activities – now he jumped on to this big tree inside the house… Humans are strange – thought our friend – but I guess it’s a good idea to have a tree inside your place…
They entered this room, a very cozy one; by the way, the cat would go there to sleep sometimes; but he didn’t understand why the humans screamed every time they would catch him there, after all, they slept there too!
The feline showed him books, where he would sometimes take a nap, opened all doors and rolled over everywhere. Bitted cables of machines where images were running fast with sounds that imitated original ones. There was only one thing he couldn’t do and it was to open this big white box with food inside. What a shame!
As the cat’s Human arrived in the room, the cat suddenly turned very soft and sweet. He was like talking to her. Well, he guessed it, because now he couldn’t understand him. She took him in her arms and caressed his back. It was nice! The cat licked its face and snored all the time. It was strange to see though, that this at first courageous and adventurous cat was in reality, so childish. Still snoring and rubbing itself to the human’s legs, and because a flea has to eat… The feline scratched once and twice.
By seeing this, the cat’s Human grabbed him…
-No! - A scream was heard…
Our adventures hero, never saw a person so close as that time… in fact, the never saw another one or anything more after…
And they say that “curiosity killed the cat”…
