Leul i

celua
Tolstoi

de Lev Nikolaevici

La Londra se deschisese o menajerie.

Pentru vizitarea ei se cereau bani ori cini i
pisici, spre a hrni slbticiunile aduse.
Cineva a vrut s vad animalele; a prins pe
strad o celu i a dus-o la menajerie. I s-a
dat drumul nuntru s viziteze menajeria, iar pe
celu au luat-o i au aruncat-o n cuca unui
leu, s o mnnce.
Celua i-a adunat coada i s-a ghemuit
ntr-un col al cutii. Leul s-a apropiat de ea i a
prins s o miroas. Celua s-a ntins cu labele
n sus i a nceput s dea din codi. Leul a
ntors-o pe partea cealalt. Celua a srit i s-a
aezat n faa leului pe lbuele de dinapoi. Leul a privit-o, a scuturat din cap i n-a
atins-o. Cnd stpnul i-a aruncat n cuc poria de carne, leul a rupt o bucat i i-a
dat celuei. Seara, cnd leul s-a culcat, celua s-a ntins lng dnsul, punndu-i
capul pe laba lui.
De atunci, celua a trit cu leul n aceeai cuc. El mnca ce i se aducea i nu
se atingea de celu, uneori se juca cu ea i dormeau mpreun.
Odat, un domn a vizitat menajeria i i-a recunoscut celua. El l-a rugat pe
proprietarul manajeriei s i-o dea. Stpnul s-a nvoit i a chemat celua s o scoat
din cuc. Dar leul i-a zbrlit coada i a rcnit.
Aa au trit leul i celua un an ntreg n aceeai cuc. Dup un an ns,
celua s-a mbolnvit i a murit. n ziua aceea leul nu s-a atins de mncare, mereu
mirosea celua i o pipia cu labele.
Cnd a neles c a murit, a srit n sus ca ars, s-a zbrlit, a nceput s-i
biciuiasc coapsele cu coada, s-a npustit n peretele cutii i a prins s road
zvoarele i podeaua.
Toat ziua s-a frmntat, s-a zbtut n cuc i a urlat, apoi s-a ntins lng
celua moart i prea c s-a linitit. Dar cnd stpnul menajeriei a vrut s scoat
celua, leul n-a ngduit nimnui s se apropie de ea.
nchipuindu-i c leul i va uita durerea dac va cpta o alt celu, stpnul
i-a vrt n cuc una vie. Leul ns a sfiat-o imediat. Dup aceea, a cuprins n brae
celua moart i a zcut aa cinci zile. A asea zi a murit i leul.
Cuvinte noi:
menajerie = loc special amenajat, n care sunt inute i expuse publicului
animalele slbatice;
s-a npustit = s-a aruncat, a dat buzna;
n-a ngduit = n-a permis, n-a dat voie;
i-a vrt = i-a introdus ;
a rcnit = a urlat;

a sfiat = a rupt.
