Among fables and truths we see each other. We constantly recreate and learn and unlearn in the process of being people. This is one of the fundamental aspects that the fable reflects as a didactic literary genre and that is studied less and less in educational fields.

Learning in everyday life

In everyday life we have experiences that allow us to grow and probably. This growth is full of flavors. This growth is often the product of painful learning, difficult circumstances.

Sometimes, learning can also be a product of moments of joy and understanding of reality. From that experience that means putting yourself in the place of other people. Among fables and truths we see ourselves, all the time, in different areas of life.

Fables, literature and reality.

When we think of artistic expressions, we sometimes stop at creative processes. Other times we stop in the aesthetic experience, in production, in the beauty of the work of art. But rarely do we stop to consider the motivations that lead a person to create those works of art.

Among fables and truths we see ourselves, in infinite artistic expressions, not only in literature. We can also fable with music, in the plastic arts, in the world of dance.

Literature is a recreation of human existence. That is why we find the universal classics. In the classics the realities and contradictions of the human being, the truths and the lies are represented.

Among fables and truths we see ourselves from the world of classical literature until today, in the 21st century.

Among these classics, we must especially remember “The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha “.

The representation of Don Quixote’s idealism, in the face of Sancho Panza’s prgmatism, leads us to reflect on the great topics of life.

Idealism and dreams. Beyond the political positions and the companies of life.

Everywhere in the world, in all countries there have been and there will always be people with ideals. People wanting to change things to spare.

We will always meet people who want to fight and transform reality. Fighting for the sake of justice and freedom.

Quixotic Spirits

In Venezuela, as in other countries, there are leaders and political parties. We can mention the Copeyanos, the adecos, the Masistas, the revolutionaries of yesterday and forever.

Professionals from all areas: lawyers, educators, doctors, entrepreneurs, among others. All of them fight for their ideals and for the transformation of the country.

Among fables and truths we see each other

THE FABLE OF THE ANT AND THE CICADA

Spanish / English

¿Qué hacías durante el verano? / What did you do during the summer?

He asked the beggar. / He asked the stony.

-Día y noche a quien me encontraba, / -Day and night to whom I was,

le cantaba, no te disgustes. / I sang to him, don’t be upset.

-¿Le cantabas? Me alegro. / -Did you sing to him? I’m glad.

¡Pues bien, baila ahora! / Well, dance now!

Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695)

Interpretation of this fable:

In the fable of the ant and the cicada, the cicada when winter comes is devoid of food. She is going to borrow them from her neighbor the ant. This one, fearing not having enough for both of them denies the loan.

The ant recriminates him for having spent the summer comfortably. He claims for not having collected food for the cold season.

It is, like all the fables of La Fontaine, Aesop and other authors. It is a story for educational purposes.

Since in this case the relentless work of the ant is rewarded with survival. On the other hand, the carefreeness of the cicada pays for it with life.

Samaniego and his fable world

The fables of Samaniego were published in 1784. The moral Fables collect a total of 157 compositions.

Samaniego’s fables were distributed in nine books and preceded by a prologue. They were composed for the students of the College of Vergara, whose pedagogical work collaborated.

Who was Félix María Samaniego?

Spanish writer (Laguardia, 1745 – id., 1801), famous for his moral Fables. Together with Tomás de Iriarte, he is considered the best of the Spanish fabulists. The violent enmity between the two has passed into the history of literature.

Belonging to a noble and rich family, after the first studies (carried out in the paternal home). He was sent to study law at the University of Valladolid, where he remained for two years without completing the degree.

On a pleasure trip to France he became enthusiastic about the encyclopedists, and stayed a long time on French soil.

There the inclination to the scathing criticism against politics and religion so pleasing to the men of the century was infected.

And a certain libertine and skeptical spirit that induced him to mock privileges. Because of this, he even rejected high employment, proposed by well-known characters in French high society.

The didactic literature

His work belongs to the genre of teaching literature. His intention is within the didactic character of neoclassical and illustrated literature. Usually his writing responded to the maximum aesthetics of instructing delight.

They had to influence him, the choice of gender his knowledge of French literature, especially La Fontaine. Although Samaniego is not a mere translator. On the contrary it updates the traditional matter from the classical sources (Aesop and Fedro).

Samaniego increases the explanatory data and dramatizes the scenes. This to improve the effect in relation to the didactic function it intends. Thus we reach our affirmation: Among fables and truths we see ourselves

Samaniego, like other authors of his time and authors of later times, ventured into the genre of didactic literature, which at some point might seem a contradiction because of his libertarian spirit.

One thing is the experience of life and another thing is what is reflected in the creative processes. As we have seen in so many occasions the literary experience, the vital and creative processes are independent.

That is why we talk about the relationship of fables, literature and reality. In this literary genre we find a representation of moral aspects. Most often represented in animals.

Animals are characters that tell us about the confrontation among that truth and the ‘parody of it. The idea is that they usually leave us a teaching. As we know from Aesop, the Greek classic and great fabulator.

Aesop the creator, the fablers their enhancers

Aesop is the creator of this genre of literature, and inspiring of all other experts in the subject

“Among fables and truths we see each other.” In fact, we well know that later creations in the world of fables are based on those created by Aesop. This has been stated by most writers who have cultivated this literary expression.

It only takes a brief tour of the presence of this genre in the history of literature to verify that this is so. That its authors have been able to recognize it, as in the most emblematic case, which constitutes La Fontaine.

For this reason among others mentioned, we talk about “Among fables and truths we see each other”

The news was published this week and for lovers of this equine it is a great recognition. The sporting trajectory of this horse is impressive. In 2015 the horse won the three gems of the Triple Crown.

The aforementioned competition represents a great challenge for both horses and riders. The difficulty lies in the fact that they must win all three races in a row.

In fact, since the creation of the competition, only 13 horses have achieved the feat.

The data:

The first edition of the Triple Crown took place in 1919. Sir Barton was the winning specimen of the three races.

The most recent champion is Justify in 2018. Unfortunately, the horse that during this year 2019 won the Kentucky Derby, first race, was withdrawn. Therefore, it had no chance of winning the next two races.

There was no possibility that there was a winner this year 2019. Likewise, the horses that arrived in second, third and fourth place did not compete in other races.

So that first lot that saw the finish line had no chance to offer a great show.

The announcement

The announcement about American Pharoah’s position on the list of the 50 best athletes of the last decade, in the United States, was surprising. This took place on the occasion of a mention about the Mexican boxer Santos Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez.

Which is the only athlete in his country that appears on the famous list of the USA Today newspaper.

Since the Mexican boxer is placed in position 41 next to the American golfer Brooks Koepka.

In this sense, they announced that the triple crowned horse was 20 places ahead of the boxer.

The American Pharoah feat

Since 1978, when Affirmed won the Triple Crown, there was a great silence. There was no horse that was able to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.

These three races involve great training, effort and strength, so it is not so easy for horses to win them. Usually they are very depressed as are the riders.

The victory of American Pharoah represents the end of a drought in the equestrian races leading to the Triple Crown.

The public was elated the day that copy ended the silence and triple crowned.

Three years later, Justify, under the guidance of jockey Mike Smith, managed to continue this path. Justify made the equestrian public stand up and celebrate the new triple champion of the United States.

Without a doubt, this is the most important competition within the equestrian calendar. Year after year, there are many horses registered for the triple Crown.

More so far, only 13 copies have completed those three victories.

Secretariat, a great example

One of the great horses that has passed through the Triple Crown of the United States is Secretariat.

A sorrel that loved to sleep and eat. Exemplary that he didn’t really want to run, he didn’t try very hard at first. However, after losing his first race he reacted.

Since then he became unstoppable, the American fanatic loved him and his name became famous.

In 1973, aboard Canadian rider Ron Turcotte celebrated his third consecutive victory for the Triple Crown.

He became the ninth horse to complete the American feat.

As a stallion, he enjoys a new life at Ashford Stud.

He is subsequently named Horse of the Year and awarded an Eclipse Award.

“He is a love … he is a stuffed horse … he loves being with people,”. American Pharoah’s owner Zayat.

Zayat was born in Egypt.

And is that the charisma of this horse makes people admire him. In fact, when he was in his competition days, people would meet to see him.

So much so that 20,000 people registered to watch the horse train.

They even opened a Twitter account where he has a large audience of more than 12,700 followers.

Opinions about American Pharoah

“He is not only bright on the race track – when he runs, he is floating – and even as a horse, he knows how elegant he is. He is connected with so many people … it is a blessing from God, ”Zayat told CNN once.

For his part, coach Bob Baffert told the sports chain that he is happy to be the instructor of such talented horses. He is glad that he has received such winners throughout his career.

“I’ve been lucky to have some really good horses, but he just kept improving, he looked every time,” Bob Baffert to CNN.

He argued that as the horse competed, he was surpassing himself. It is so to the point where he never declined, even in hard times, he always knew how to get up.

Baffert qualifies that horse’s attitude as a way of becoming superior.

“He (American Pharoah) made my job much easier. This will be a difficult performance to match… it really consented us, ” Bob Baffert

The Mexican jockey who guided the specimen in those three races, Víctor Espinoza, told CNN that the horse is unique.

And that his connection with him was such that it will be difficult for him to find another equal.

“I hope to ride another one, but it will be difficult … those don’t always come, only once every 37 years!” Victor Espinoza

Victor Espinoza rode another winner of the American equestrian, California Chrome. Together, they got the glory of the Kentucky Derby in 2014.

And this amazing horse also won the Grand Slam of the Breeders Cup.

With what his sports career consolidates and goes to the top.

Some time later he is retired and a new stage begins as a stallion.

American Pharaoh’s daughter already shows her lineage

This 2019 an American Pharoah daughter has already shown what she is made of and made her father’s legacy respect.

This is the mare Princess Carolina, she is two years old and has already won a race at Sacre Coeur.

In this sense, the Venezuelan rider Javier Castellano, had the privilege of driving it in that event.

Honor that not every jockey has, but that the experience and exemplary record of this equestrian athlete allows.
