I wrote a short novel called “La aventura de Zunzuncito”. For this fifth season of Simple Stories in Spanish, I will be sharing a chapter from the novel each week. This week is chapter 10! After crossing the grand lake, Zunzuncito and Monty must pass through the land of giants. The land of giants is fascinating, until Zunzuncito sees something horrible: animals in cages. Seeing the animals in cages makes him think of being trapped in the spiderweb. He has to do something, but what can a tiny bird do?

This story is told mostly in the the present tense, with only a couple words in the past (to recap the previous chapters). Repeated words and phrases include “jaula” (cage), “cerradura” (lock), “pico” (beak), “romper” (to break), “abrir” (to open) and “puerta” (door). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2021/11/07/simple-stories-in-spanish-la-aventura-de-zunzuncito-capitulo-10/
