Ant: Glory
Cow: Light
Deer: Speed
Cat: Affection
Frog: Enthusiasm
Ant: Glory 
Ant, my ant,
In you my heart beholds
The glory of the Supreme.
Tiniest in size, you house the dream
Of the Omnipotent.
To me you are extremely important,
Because you represent
One extremity of God,
His message of smallness;
In another word, His greatness.
Ant frugality I want not
Cow: Light
Cow, my cow,
You have the light,
You are the light.
Therefore
You alone have the right
To guide and lead
The entire creation’s height.
Cow self-giving I want
Deer: Speed
Deer, my deer,
God’s Compassion
Has the fastest speed.
God is very rich, my deer.
With his Compassion –Moon,
The whole world he knows how to feed.
God wants you
To be his student-runner
And hoist his Victory’s Banner.
Cat: Affection
Cat, my cat,
You cry for constant affection.
I have affection plus compassion.
Therefore
Stop crying.
Start smiling.
I tell you a supreme secret;
“I treasure your dependence.”
“Cat Slyness, I want not”
Frog: Enthusiasm
Frog, my frog,
Endlessly you jump and jump,
Cheerfully you cover distance,
Proudly you conquer the pride of length.
Who could imagine
That your legs had such spring and
strength?
Continue jumping.
In the process of your evolution
And your silver-bright enthusiasm
You are bound to cover
Eternity’s length
And sing the song
Of salvation-perfection.
