CAT'S CLAW (Sedum sediforme)

The "cat's claw , common name that is known in the area Espuña sediforme Sedum plant is fairly common in the natural park so it is easy to locate growing either in a forest clearing, under cover of other plants or even in rocky areas with little substrate where to expand their roots, the latter being the most common because it is photophilic. It is also common to see it grow on the roofs of older homes.

One day he came to a house carpenter and asked one of the brothers if they would work for him. Thomas replied:

- You see that wood is close to that stream? Well, I've cut recently. My brother Javier lives in front and, because of our enmity, diverted the stream to separate permanently. So I do not want to see your home. I leave the task of making me a very close I avoid high front sight.

Thomas went to town and did not return until late at night.

-Thomas, my brother, I can not believe you have been you who has made the bridge, having been I who offended you. I come to apologize.

And the two brothers embraced. When Thomas saw that the carpenter was away, he said,

"Good man, how much do you owe? Why do not you stay?
"No, thanks," replied the carpenter. I have many bridges to build!
