"El Dromedario y el Camello"
-"¡Válgame dios, que veo!"
Un camello le dijo a un dromedario
"Tu eres en desierto necesario,
más la verdad, amigo estas muy feo
con esa singular alta joroba
más grande que una alcoba"
¡Y el que así se burlaba y se reía,
dos jorobas magnificas tenia!
Hombres hay que no encuentran nada bueno,
que aunque son defectos un acopio,
la paja miran en el ojo ajeno,
y la viga jamás ven el propio.
"Para cambiar nuestra colonia, sólo se necesitan vecinos que quieran cambiar"

José Rosas Moreno
(1838-1883)
Born in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco in 1838. Literary author and politician, he was a government representative for several terms. He wrote in several literary genres, including poetry and theater, of which his best known work is about Juana Inés de la Cruz.
He also spent time writing children's literature and wrote beautiful fables, some which were translated into English by the poet William J.C. Bryant. He died in 1883.
"The Dromedary and the Camel"
- "God bless me, what do I see!"
A camel told a dromedary.
"You in the desert are necessary,
but truthfully friend you are very ugly,
what with that singular high hump
bigger than an couch!"
So the one who made fun of him and laughed,
himself had two great humps!
Men in others often find nothing good and
although they themselves are flawed,
they look for the mote in other’s eyes,
and the beam never see in their own.
"To change our neighborhood, we need neighbors that want to change."
