Cuando se aburren en los trayectos largos, los niños de diversas regiones de Iberoamérica cantan una canción que dice Un elefante se balanceaba sobre la tela de una araña/como veÃa que resistÃa fue a llamar a otro elefante. En la siguiente vuelta son dos elefantes los que hacen la peligrosa hazaña, y asà hasta que lleguen a su destino o alguien --papás o hijos-- se cansen. En su libro, Judy Goldman, una autora célebre por recuperar y reinterpretar historias y tradiciones mexicanas en su obra, retoma esta rima popular y la lleva a su extremo más cómico cuando al elefante se le suman un rinoceronte, una jirafa y muchos otros animales que ponen a prueba la resistencia de la telaraña. Cuando termina por caer, como es de esperarse, la historia comienza de nuevo... When they get bored on long journeys, children from various regions of Latin America sing a song that goes An elephant was balancing on a spider's web / as he saw that it resisted, he went to call on another elephant. On the next lap, two elephants do the dangerous feat, and so on until they reach their destination, or someone gets tired of singing. In this book, the author takes this popular rhyme and makes it comical when the elephant is joined by a rhinoceros, a giraffe, and many other animals that they test the resistance of the cobweb. When it ends up falling, as expected, the story begins again.
