Drabble: A 100 word story written using the word prompt "bread and butter".

...I was delighted to read today's prompt bread and butter. The term when taken together reminds me the many sayings my parents would recite when attempting to instill in us values that we should not take granted. Their intent was to tell us that nothing in life is guaranteed. External forces can rush in and destroy something you value or disrupt your life when you think all is well. I share a micro story involving the day's prompt that is based on a format known as ZAPFIC100. It's a story that is told in exactly 100 words.

For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2031. Prompt: bread and butter.

Below is my story:

The stream flows effortlessly as the brown bear wait and eagle fly patiently.

It is their "bird in the hand" instead of in the bush.

It is their "bread and butter",

It is their "sure thing" and all other clichés.

Just like the changing of seasons, salmon should be coming around the corner any day.

But they don't.

Little does the brown bear and eagle realize that, on the way to their sacred spawning place, human intervention dealt the salmon a deadly blow.

Pollution filtered through the waters as the salmon began their journey.

The cycle of life is broken.

Drabble: Una historia de 100 palabras escrita usando la palabra "pan con mantequilla".

Me ha encantado leer el tema de hoy pan y mantequilla. La combinación de estos términos me recuerda a los muchos refranes que recitaban mis padres cuando intentaban inculcarnos valores que no debíamos dar por sentados. Su intención era decirnos que nada está garantizado en la vida. Fuerzas externas pueden irrumpir y destruir algo que valoras o perturbar tu vida cuando crees que todo va bien. Comparto un microrrelato relacionado con el tema del día que se basa en un formato conocido como ZAPFIC100. Es una historia que se cuenta en exactamente 100 palabras.

Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2031. Prompt: bread and butter

A continuación mi historia.

Ciclo de la vida

El arroyo fluye sin esfuerzo mientras el oso pardo espera y el águila vuela pacientemente.

Es su "pájaro en mano" en lugar de estar en el monte.

Es su "pan de cada día",

Es su "valor seguro" y todos los demás tópicos.

Al igual que el cambio de las estaciones, el salmón debería estar a la vuelta de la esquina en cualquier momento.

Pero no es así.

Poco se dan cuenta el oso pardo y el águila de que, de camino a su lugar sagrado de desove, la intervención humana asestó al salmón un golpe mortal.

La contaminación se filtró por las aguas cuando el salmón iniciaba su viaje.

El ciclo de la vida se ha roto.

What a poignant reminder of the responsibilities we humans have towards nature and our environment!

The brown bear and the eagle fly have faith in the natural cycle —the salmon should get to them. But man messes up the environment, forgetting that we are not the only living beings who depend on nature to survive.

We all have some form of our "bread and butter" we know will be at our disposal and we can depend upon. I feel that sometimes humans have tunnelvision and do forget that other animals depend upon the planet's natural resources for their livelihood.
