This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Bosque de las Palabras Perdidas.


En un reino muy lejano, existía un bosque mágico donde crecían árboles de palabras. En cada hoja, había una palabra única y preciosa. Los habitantes del reino adoraban este bosque, ya que las palabras les servían para crear poemas, canciones y cuentos maravillosos.

Pero un día, un viento muy fuerte sopló y llevó muchas hojas con palabras a un lugar desconocido. El bosque quedó triste y silencioso. Los habitantes del reino estaban preocupados, ya que sin palabras, no podían expresar sus sentimientos ni contar historias.

Una niña llamada Ania decidió ayudar al bosque. Con su libro de cuentos favorito y una canasta llena de esperanza, se adentró en el bosque. Caminó durante horas hasta que encontró un claro donde se amontonaban miles de hojas con palabras.

Ania comenzó a recoger las hojas y a leerlas en voz alta. Con cada palabra que pronunciaba, un rayo de luz iluminaba el bosque y las hojas volvían a sus árboles. Los pájaros comenzaron a cantar, las flores a florecer y el bosque recuperó su alegría.

Cuando Ania terminó de recoger todas las hojas, el rey del reino la recibió con los brazos abiertos. Gracias a ella, el bosque de las palabras había vuelto a la vida. Anya se convirtió en la guardiana del bosque y prometió cuidar de las palabras para siempre.
