The Day Is Burning

"When you see a rose, you say it is beautiful, and when you see a snake, you say it is disgusting. You don't know that in this world, roses and snakes are close friends. At night, they transform into each other. The snake's cheeks are bright red and the rose scales are shining. When you see a rabbit, you say it is cute, and when you see a lion, you say it is terrible. You don't know how they bleed and how they love each other on a stormy night."
