The Bug on The Antenna
One Sunday very early, as usual, Christian and Anastasia went to the small town called Mariposa, a few miles from where they lived, because they were going to visit Luis, Christian’s older brother.
They had already traveled a few miles when, suddenly, Anastasia realized that, on the antenna of the car they were traveling in, there was a small weirdo bug that was holding on tightly with its tail. Her astonishment was so great that she immediately told her husband to look at the insect, pointing with her finger exactly where the animal was.
The man was also surprised to see him, and, with great curiosity, because he was driving, he asked Anastasia to take a picture of him with her mobile phone. She quickly focused the camera and managed to capture the image of that strange thing. It was a success, the shot came out perfect, sharp.
Shortly after, they realized that the insect was gone, it was gone. They no longer saw him clinging to the antenna with his big hard tail, they imagined, like a crab claw. Apparently, the bug gave up, it had lost its strength against the wind. For the couple it was a fun moment.
They saw how the bug flapped attached to the antenna for a long time, they could even look at its color, the size of its limbs and antenna, as well as the way it clung to the metal with its tail. They didn’t see him again, the air had taken him away, because the helpless, skinny, long and colorful weirdo bug couldn’t hold on.

El Bicho En La Antena
Un domingo muy temprano, como de costumbre, Christian y Anastasia se dirigían al pequeño poblado de nombre La Mariposa, a unos cuantos kilómetros de donde ellos vivían, pues irían a visitar a Luis, el hermano mayor de Christian.
Ya habían recorrido algunos kilómetros cuando, de repente, Anastasia se percató que, en la antena del automóvil donde viajaban, se encontraba un pequeño bicho raro bien agarrado con su cola. Fue tanto el asombro de ella que, inmediatamente, le dijo a su esposo que volteara a ver al insecto, señalando con su dedo exactamente donde estaba el animal.
El hombre también se sorprendió al verlo, y, con gran curiosidad, porque iba manejando, le pidió a Anastasia que le tomara una fotografía con su teléfono móvil. Ella, rápido enfocó la cámara y logró captar la imagen de esa cosa tan rara. Fue un éxito, la toma salió perfecta, nítida.
Poco después, se dieron cuenta que el insecto ya no estaba, se había ido. Ellos ya no lo volvieron a ver aferrado a la antena con su gran cola dura, así se imaginaron, como si fuera una tenaza de cangrejo. Al parecer, el bicho se rindió, había perdido sus fuerzas contra el viento. Para la pareja fue un momento divertido.
Ellos vieron cómo el bicho papaloteó sujetado a la antena por un largo tiempo, que, inclusive, pudieron mirar tal cual era su color, el tamaño de sus extremidades y antenas, así como la forma en que se agarró con su cola al metal. Ya no lo volvieron a ver, el aire se lo había llevado, porque no resistió el indefenso, flaco, largo y colorido bicho raro.
