e presentamos este cuento en inglés para que tus hijos aprendan jugando.

In the world of the animals, there was a very arrogant harebecause she said to everyone she

was the fastest. That’ s why she was always laughing at the slow turtle.

-Look at the turtle! Hey turtle, don’ t run so much that you’ re going to get tired of going so

fast!- The hare used to say laughing at the turtle.One day, they were talking and it occurred to the turtle to make a strange betwith the hare.

-I’ m sure I can win you a race- she said.

- To me?- asked the hare astonished.

-Yes, to you. Let’ s put our bet on that stone and let’ s see who wins the race.

finishing line were marked. Once it was ready, the race started among big applauses.

Relying on her speed, the hare left the turtle go and she remained lazing about. She had time

enough to win such a slow creature!

Then she start running, she run fast as the wind while the turtle went slow but without

stopping. At once she went ahead. She stopped next to the road and she sat to rest.When the turtle passed by her side, the hare made fun of her once more. She left her

advantage and set out her quick walk. She did the same several times but, in spite of her

mocks, the turtle kept her way until she arrived to the finishing line. When the hare woke up,

she ran with all her might but it was too late, the turtle had won the race.

That day was very sad for the hare and she learnt a lesson she would never forget: you must

never mock of the others.

The Enchanted Forest.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest, with a lot of trees and flowers of all the

colours which gladden the sight to all the people who went there. Every afternoon, the animals

of the forest meet there to play.

The rabbits had a race to see who was the first to arrive to the finishing line. The ants made a

long line to go to their nest. The colourful birds and bright butterflies land among the bushes.

Everything was peace and tranquillity. Until that…One day, the animals heard noises, strange

steps and they got very frightened because the land started to shake.

Suddenly, a very ugly and bad warlock  appeared in the forest. He was lived in an abandoned

house and was very solitary, that is why he did not have any family nor friends. He was old and

crooked, his face was sad and anguished. He did not want anyone to be happy so when he

heard the children’ s laughter he got so angry that he cried very loud and went running to look

for them. Quickly he touched the tree with his wand and after a few minutes all its leaves fell

and it lost its colour. He did the same with the flowers

, the grass, the animals and the children.After doing this great and terrible evil deed, he went on laughing and repeating

-Nobody will have life while I am alive!

Many years weny by since nobody treaded that dark and horrible place, until adove arrived

flying and singing cheerfully, but she was very astonished to see that forest that had been

beautiful once, full of children, turned into an horrifying forest.

What happened here? All of them lost their colour and movement…It is so gloomy. As if it was

nighr! I have to do something for this forest be what it was before with its colour, bright and

life…Let’ s see, what can I do?”

-“I got it!The dove landed in the dried branch of a tree that, as if by magic, started to recover its natural

colour and moving slowly.

Then she posed in the back of the rabbit and his soft ears started to stand up and little by little,

his bright grey colour could be noticed.

And that was how she got all the inhabitants of the forest back to life. The children played and

laughed again. They, with the animals, thanked the dove because thanks to her they had gone

back to life. The dove was very happy and she went singing.

And the wind came and took the warlock  and the tale!

The end

The Bag of Lice.

One day the queen was combing the princess’ hair and she found a louse.

-Look father- said the princess,- the louse that mum has found in my hair.

-Don’ t kill him!- exclaimed the king,- let’ s put it in a flash. I’ m curious about how big can

grow a louse fed of  royal blood.

The king put the louse into a flask  and from time to time he allowed him to feed of the

princess’ royal blood leaving it on the girl’ s head for some hours.

The louse grow so much that the king had to put it in a barrel. The princess kept on feeding it,

and the louse kept on growing until the king had to put it out of the barrel and put it in a

bigger cask. Eventually, when it did not fit in the cask , he had to kill it. The king had the

louse’ s skin tanned and ordered the royal tailor to make a leather bag.

When the bag was finished, the king made the same question to everybody.

-Guess from which animal is the leather of my bag?

Some said that from beef, others from deer but nobody could hit on it. At last, the monarch

made proclaim in all his kingdom that the one who guessed from which animal came theleather of his bag would marry the princess. People came from many parts to see the bag, but

nobody could guess.

One day, a shepherd arrived to the town bringing his flock to sell it on the market. He decided

to visit the town and started to walk. After walking for a long time, he arrived to the king’ s

palace. Tired, he sank back on the garden’ s wall. He lit a cigarrette and as he was smoking he

heard someone talking in the garden. It was the king talking with the queen saying her:

-I think that nobody is going to guess that my bag is made out of louse’ s skin.

As soon as he heard this the shepherd went away thinking “now I can marry the princess”.

The following day, the shepherd went to the palace and seeked an audience with the king.

When he was in front of him he said:

-Lord, I come to see if I guess the skin of which your bag is made.-Guess- said the king.

-Lord,-answered the shepherd- it is made out of louse skin.

-You’ ve guessed it!- cried the king. And he ordered that the wedding of the shepherd and the

princess would be celebrated the soonest as possible.

THE END 

The ghostly villageThe night was rainy; a big storm was falling on the sea. The waves were enormous and the fog

was thick. The ships rocked one side to the other as marionettes.

Suddenly, an awful creaking was heard in the darkness. A big cloud of smoke was seen in thedistance and an intense odour could be noticed in the air. Everybody was wondering what had

happened.

A ship had ran aground near the shore and had split part of the petrol it carried. Abig black

stain spreaded on the water, as a big black cloack which had the sea gone into mourning. The

smell of petrol was each time stronger and mixed with the freshness of the breeze each sunset

near the beach. Charles and Anne used to go watching the stars. When they felt that freedom

that only those who have not betrayed their ideals feel. They were the children of a fisher and

lived in a humble white house very near from the cliff.

The fishers had recently had problems to fish, fishing was not very good. Now, it would be

worse, there would not be anything in many time. Fishers will not be seen carrying fish to the

harbour. They could not be said goodbye as it was usual. Now they will have to go far, to be

able to live.

The village became a village without people. A ghostly village. Just a few women and children

remained there. Men and young people went to look for a job and came back once in a while

to see their families. At nightfall, a few lights, brought the village back to existence.

But from the cliff the view was not the same, it seemed that even the breeze had changed ofplace. The air smell of petrol and the sea’ s calm had turned to a terrible anguished seeing how

all the sea life was being destroyed. Dead fishes floated and all was devastating. The few

people who remained, started to rebuild and clean all that had been damaged.

Some years passed until the village returned to normal. Some of who had left returned and the

boats returned to the harbour. Hope was born again with the fear that the story would repeat.

The End

men come up and speak to me! Polly Shaw will be that jealous; but I don´t care. I shall just look

at her and toss my head like this.
