The Jackal and the Rabbit: A Love Story
(This is a translation of a story I did for my fourth year Spanish class)
Silencely, an anthroporphic jackal with black fur and blond hair watched the necropolis of La Ciudad de Chacales [The City of Jackals]. This jackal's name was Anubeus. Anubeus had a katana and a wakizashi. He was a swordsman, skilled like the samurai, Miyamoto Mushashi. Anubeus was alone and sad. He wanted a boyfriend. (Yes, he is gay.)
Anubeus sighed like a lion. "¡Ay! I don't have a boyfriend that I could love him." He knelt and prayed, "Lord, where is my love? Tell me, please! In the name of Jesus Chrsit. Amen!" The tears hit the jackal's tunic.

In La Ciudad de Chacales, there was an anthroporphic rabbit with wite fur and black hair was in his house, reading a love poem:
The Guardian of the Dead
by Julio Juan Zórrez
_I see the guardian of the dead / While he watches the dead. / This jackal has stolen my heart, / like a thief on roof; / At night, he raises his sword / in the defense of the honored city. / He is a big demon of the battlefield, / And the evil politicians he staps. _
Julio has fallen in love with Anubeus. Julio went to school with the jackal with blond hair and black fur. Becuase of Anubeus, Julio became a poet, though he did not know Anubeus.
When the rabbit, Julio, went to the story. There, Julio saw the person that he loved_---_Anubeus. This rabbit was like a schoolgirl. He went up to Anubeus. Julio nervously asked, "How are you, Mr. Anubeus?"
"Hello, good. Thank you. Friend, what is your name?" Anubeus said.
Julio was surprised that Anubeus used the tú from [tú is the informal (used with friends and close family) for "you" in Spanish]. "Julio Juan Zórrez," he said.
Anubeus smiled at Julio, then said, "I read your poem, "The Guardian of the Dead," and I liked it."
Julio liked this commemt. "Thank you. You were the inspration...and...and..."
"You fell in love with me?"
"Yes, it is of truth." Julio smiled at Anubeus.
"Meet me at the hill that is called El Cerro de Ruth La Madre [The Hill of Ruth the Mother] tomorrow morning."
[The Next Day]
Julio walked to El Cerro de Ruth La Madre, thinking: Am I over dressed? He was wearing exersice clothes; the clothes were grey. Eyes open when he saw Anubeus, Julio knew that Anubeus was wearing clothes for praticing karate; the clothes were black.
"Hello, Julio!" yelled Anubeus.
"Hello! How are you?"
"Good, darling."
Julio noticed that Anubeus had two bokken.
"I have a gift for you." Anubeus gave a bokken to the rabbit.
"Thank you, Anubeus."
"I'm going to teach you how to fight with bokken." Anubeus said.
Smilling Julio said, "Sounds like fun."
