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 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 “pájaro” (bird), “telaraña” (spiderweb), “araña” (spider), “llora” (cries), “tiene miedo” (is scared) and “patas” (animal feet or hands. 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/2021/09/19/simple-stories-in-spanish-la-aventura-de-zunzuncito-capitulo-3/)
