The thorn

It was a white rose. Beautiful, fragile. As she approached its stem dangerously, a thorn emerged from nowhere and pierced its delicate skin. Drops of red blood, aching, fell on her petals, and the rose slowly turned red. And the repentant rose bowed to caress her face and ask her forgiveness. She corresponded to him with a kiss, a sweet kiss that united them forever.

La espina

Era una rosa blanca. Hermosa, frágil. Cuando ella se acercó peligrosamente a su tallo, una espina surgió de la nada y atravesó su delicada piel. Gotas de roja sangre, doliente, cayeron sobre sus pétalos, y la rosa, lentamente, se tornó roja. Y la rosa, arrepentida, se inclinó para acariciar su cara y pedirle perdón. Ella le correspondió con un beso, un beso dulce que las unió para siempre.
