There was a mysterious paradise of beauty and incomparable beauty, radiant and robust of a nature with special gifts of the deity. There grew all kinds of trees; They were beautiful and they gave very tasty fruit. In the middle of that paradise was the tree of coexistence, it was a very special tree completely different from the rest of the trees; It had concave roots, which was precisely the mouth of the tree of coexistence, and there it was related to all the animals that made life in its branches.

Impressive the tree spoke and transmitted its advice to all the animals of paradise. When the animals had problems with each other, they came to him and received the wise advice to solve them. The branches of the tree were totally desirable, they gave exactly 12 different fruits, one fruit per month. Its branches were always full of bird nests.

Gorillas, bears and leopards enjoyed the branches of the coexistence tree and enjoyed its sweet fruit.

The eagle came and made its nest in the branches of that mysterious and beautiful tree. When the eagle tried to eat a small lizard that lived in the branches of the tree, there was a voice like thunder, lightning and sparks that said: of my 12 fruits a year you can eat, why you have to eat my friends who make life in me It was the voice of the convention tree that spoke from its concave roots. Suddenly, the eagle stopped and obeyed the voice of the tree.

The tree of coexistence was very jealous of all the animals that lived in its branches. In spring their branches bloomed, they heard the songs of birds, warblers and all kinds of birds.

One day, a lion chased a leopard to devour it, the leopard ran tirelessly, ran to the tree of coexistence, soon climbed the tree and was exhausted in its branches; while the lion tried to climb the tree and devour its prey, when again a voice was heard as of a loud thunder and voices of lightning that produced terror, which said: my friends inhabit my branches, if any damage them, I come to your defense When the lion heard the voice that came from the tree of coexistence, it was filled with panic and horror. He stayed at the foot of the tree and remained meek. When the leopard saw that the lion was calm, descended from the branches and approached him, the tree spoke in a soft and tender voice and made both the lion and the leopard live together; From that moment the lion began to frequent the tree of coexistence and surrendered to the foot of the tree and became friends with all the animals that lived in its branches.

The friendship of the animals that lived in paradise arose from the love and zeal of the tree of coexistence. The lion had not devoured his adversaries, but now his food was grass.

Paradise became a wonderful place of peace and tranquility, the life of animals was transformed into a world of harmony, of unity. However, there was only one reptile that, out of envy, did not like the animals of paradise, ask for advice from the tree of coexistence.

This reptile is the serpent, which through envy began to visit each herd of animals and sowed in them their poison of envy. Of all the animals of paradise, the serpent was the only one who had the gift of speaking. She became so cunning because she spoke and the rest of the animals admired her. Everyone wondered, why only the snake and the tree of coexistence could talk?

It was a question that always circulated in that mysterious paradise.

The serpent always pretended to show more wisdom and knowledge than the tree of coexistence. When the animals of paradise came to the tree of coexistence, he went out to meet them on the road and told them that he could give him a better advice than the tree of coexistence. It began to inject into the hearts of many animals, jealousies, enmities, lies and deceptions.

The tree of coexistence began to notice that the animals of paradise no longer frequented it, and its fruits were soon eaten by animals, but only by birds. The tree was always leafy, with beautiful fruits, full of flowers, its branches, however, give their advice, few came to him.

One rainy morning, very early, the serpent walking, entered the spring of the elephants, and one of the flocks, of the most robust and heavy, without noticing half of his body crushed, causing a great wound of death. Amid the cries of the snake, the elephants realized what had happened and immediately, the most robust elephant took it in its trunk and, together with the elephants of the pack, ran and took it to the place where the tree of coexistence.

The news ran throughout the paradise, that the serpent was wounded to death, and all the animals came to the tree of coexistence.

The tree of coexistence within its twelve fruits has one that is called the fruit of love. He opened his mouth and asked the gorilla to reach him immediately from one of its branches, the fruit of love. When he took it, he opened the fruit and poured his juice into the wound of the snake. As soon as the snake felt the heat of the juice, its wound healed immediately. He opened his eyes and looked at the great tenderness and love that was in the tree of coexistence, looked around and saw all the animals of paradise and those who were in the branches of the tree, smiled and apologized to the tree of the coexistence. having caused him moral damage by lying.

The tree of coexistence also smiled and everyone embraced the tree and the snake and lived together in harmony in paradise.
