In this third season, I am sharing chapters from my short novel “Zunzuncito’s Adventure”. This week is chapter 3! Zunzuncito, a tiny bee hummingbird, just wants to suck delicious nectar from beautiful flowers. But he is not the only one hunting for food. After being chased away from flowers by a group of bees, Zunzuncito is now trapped in a spiderweb. There are many large spiders in Cuba and some of them do suck the blood of little birds caught in their webs. How will Zunzuncito escape?

This story is told in the the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include bird, spiderweb, spider, cries, scared, and stuck.

Zunzuncito’s Adventure is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats : https://a.co/d/jlljj4V
