Sova in muca

01. Jun 2011

Edward Lear je nekoč pisal o sovi in muci, ki sta skupaj odšli na morje v lepi grahovo zeleni ladji. Edward Lear je bil eden od predstavnikov nonsensa, literarne zvrsti za katero mnogi zmotno menijo, da predstavlja nesmisel. Pravzaprav se ta literarna zvrst s smislom le »igra«.

Mnogi bi prav tako zmotno menili, da bi bilo prijateljstvo med sovo in muco nesmisel. Pravzaprav pa se sova in muca lahko igrata.

Predvideva se, da youtube video, ki dokazuje posebno vez med sovo in mačko, prihaja iz Španije. Prelepi črni muci je ime Fum, kar v katalonskem jeziku pomeni dim. Njeni spektakularni prijateljici sovi pa je ime Gebra, kar naj bi pomenilo zmrzal.

Prelepo zgodbo o sovi in muci, si sedaj lahko ogledate tudi na videoposnetku.

Če pa si želite izvedeti, kaj se je zgodilo muci in sovi Edwarda Leara, ko sta se odpravili na morje, si lahko njegovo pesem v izvornem angleškem jeziku preberete še enkrat:

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
