Una Polilla enferma / A Sick Moth

El médico de las polillas la visitó
y muy bien la revisó,
encontró que sufría inanición
y fue a traer alimentos que la hagan sentir mejor.

One day the moth fell ill
and retired to his room,
not his bed he lay down
to sleep and feel better.
The moth doctor visited her
and examined her very well,
found that she was suffering from starvation and went to bring food to make her feel better.

El médico regresa con un madero,
cree que las polillas comen eso,
pero no es su alimento
y lo rechaza sin miedo.

El doctor le ofrece su ropa,
pero esto tampoco funciona,
la polilla se alimenta de otra cosa,
del nectar de las flores pomposas.

The doctor returns with a piece of wood,
he thinks moths eat that,
but it is not their food
and rejects it without fear.
The doctor offers him his clothes,
but this doesn't work either,
the moth feeds on something else,
the nectar of the pompous flowers.

El médico va en busca de una flor,
con nectar y amarillo color,
la entrega con distinción
a la polilla que la bebe sin interrupción.

Y en pocos minutos su salud recupera,
la polilla se siente como nueva,
se va a buscar un jardín en el exterior,
para alimentarse del nectar que tiene la flor.

The doctor goes in search of a flower,
with nectar and yellow color,
he hands it with distinction
to the moth that drinks it without interruption.
And in a few minutes its health is restored,
the moth feels as good as new,
it goes in search of a garden outside,
to feed on the flower's nectar.
