ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE LA PASTORA QUE ENCONTRO UNA FLAUTA MAGICA.


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Había una vez una joven pastora. Un día se encontró una flauta. Era una flauta
mágica que hacía bailar a todo el mundo.

Una tarde, el herrero del pueblo oyó la música de la flauta y empezó a bailar sin
poder parar. Se enfadó tanto que dijo a los vecinos que la pastora era una bruja.

Entonces, todos decidieron echar del pueblo a la joven.

Pero, antes de irse, la pastora les pidió que le dejaran tocar la flauta. Y en cuanto
la oyeron, todos se pusieron a bailar. Los vecinos se lo pasaron tan bien que
decidieron que la pastora se quedara en el pueblo con ellos.
