Tras 𝟯 𝗱é𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 profesional, hace mucho que aprendí a contar lo mismo, pero de diferente manera.

Por eso, permíteme que no te venga con el mismo cuento.⁣
⁣
Verás:⁣
⁣
No soy 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐣𝐚 para saber que el lobo de 𝐥𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚, alerta, en la espesura del bosque, para comerte con patatas.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Tampoco soy 𝐄𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐨, para saber que, sobre una sola pierna, la de los 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐬 de los 𝐛𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬, no puedes llegar muy lejos.⁣⁣
⁣⁣

Pero, ¿sabes una cosa?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sin necesidad de ser 𝐆𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨, me consta que 𝐥𝐚 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝, 𝐥𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝 𝐲 𝐥𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬, serán la clave para que, al igual que 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐨, siempre terminen 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐚 𝐭𝐢.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Y sin ser, ni mucho menos, una 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲, sí sé cómo enseñarte a 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫 unos 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐬 de cuento cuyo renombre trascenderá todos los reinos.⁣
