The Alligator and the River’s Mirror On the edge of a calm, shining river lived an alligator named Aruã. He was strong, respected, and feared, but he carried a secret uneasiness: he had never truly seen his own face. Every day, he watched other animals admire their reflections in the water, while he avoided looking. One morning, the river was so still that it looked like a mirror. Curious, Aruã moved closer. When he looked at the surface, he became frightened. He saw large teeth, watchful eyes, and an expression he did not recognize. He stepped back quickly, his heart racing. For days, he stayed away from the river. But something inside him kept calling him back. The following week, he returned. This time, he took a deep breath and looked calmly. He realized that the image was not a monster, but himself. Strong, yes, but also alert and alive. Aruã began to notice details he had never imagined: the firmness of his body, the patience in his gaze, the marks of time on his skin. For the first time, he felt proud. From that day on, the alligator visited the river not out of vanity, but to remember who he truly was. And he learned that the fear of our reflection often comes from not knowing ourselves. Moral: Facing who we are is the first step toward self-acceptance.
