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 11! Zunzuncito is getting closer to the magic flower that will grant his wish to be big. He crossed the grand lake and passed through the land of giants. Only one place remains: the valley of snails. Zunzuncito feels so close and yet so far from his goal. He is feeling impatient.

This story is told mostly in the the present tense, with only a couple of words in the past (to recap the previous chapters). Repeated words and phrases include “caracoles” (snails), “ojos” (eyes), “saca la lengua” (sticks out his tongue) and “tiene hambre” (is hungry). 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/2021/11/15/simple-stories-in-spanish-la-aventura-de-zunzuncito-capitulo-11/
