Episode description

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 5! Zunzuncito is done dealing with the small life. He wants to be big. Luckily, his new frog friend Monty knows about a special magic flower that might be able to grant his wish. He just doesn’t know where it is. So, the hummingbird and frog head to the woods in search of the all-knowing Majá. On the way, Zunzuncito learns a few things about his small amphibious friend.

This story is told mostly in the the present tense, with only the first few paragraphs in the past (to recap the previous chapters). Repeated words and phrases include “rana” (frog), “bosque” (woods/forest), “árboles” (trees) “tierra” (ground, land, earth), “saltar” (to jump) and “volar” (to fly). 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/2021/10/03/simple-stories-in-spanish-la-aventura-de-zunzuncito-capitulo-5/
