On the way to the city, a wide meadow stretched from the mountainside where Richard lives. Late in the autumn, a pasture of dry grasses occasionally interrupted the view of the horizon.
Richard contemplated that day the scenery that was presented to his eyes, his memory wandered in time, as he remembered the times when as a child, holding his father's hand, he accompanied him to look for the hiding places of the rabbits.
Those were difficult times when, because of the war, they were forced to go out to the countryside to look for their daily food. The daily search always gave them results because the prairie abounded in wildlife, especially rabbits.
They had fond memories of one of those days when they stumbled upon a burrow where the mother of some rabbits protected them under her skirts. Their father, a charitable man, decided that day to spare their lives.
Richard in his innocence asked his father why he was doing this. His father answered with certainty "I must let them live, because then they will have a chance to grow to adulthood, which is when I will be able to hunt them". Understanding his father's wise words, he kept them as a memory of that moment.

Una amplia pradera
De camino a la ciudad, una amplia pradera se extendía desde la falda de la montaña de dónde vive Richard. Ya avanzado el otoño, un pastizal de hierbas secas interrumpía de vez en cuando la visión del horizonte.
Richard contemplaba ese día el escenario que se le presentaba a sus ojos, su recuerdo divagaba en el tiempo, ya que recordaba las veces que de pequeño, tomado de la mano de su padre lo acompañaba a buscar los escondites de los conejos.
Eran tiempos difíciles aquellos en los que por causa de la guerra se veían obligados a salir al campo a buscar su alimento diario. La búsqueda diaria siempre les daba resultados porque la pradera abundaba en fauna silvestre, especialmente en conejos.
Gratos recuerdos en los que en uno de aquellos días se tropezaron con una madriguera en los que la madre de unos conejitos los protegía bajo sus faldas. Su padre, hombre caritativo decidió ese día perdonarles la vida.
Richard en su inocencia le pregunto al padre por qué lo hacía. Su padre le respondió con certeza "debo dejarles con vida, ya que así tendrán la oportunidad de llegar a adultos, que es cuando los podré cazar". Comprendiendo las sabias palabras de su padre, las guardo como recuerdo de aquel momento.
