Scene 1 · Beginner
Un día de verano, un zorro caminaba por un huerto. Hacía mucho calor. Encontró unas uvas que empezaban a madurar. Estaban en una planta que crecía sobre una rama alta.
One summer day, a fox was walking through an orchard. It was very hot. He found some grapes that were beginning to ripen. They were on a plant growing along a high branch.
«¡Estas uvas son justo lo que necesito para quitarme la sed!», dijo.
“These grapes are just what I need to quench my thirst!” he said.
Retrocedió unos pasos, corrió y saltó. Le faltó muy poco, pero no logró alcanzarlas. Volvió atrás, contó hasta tres y saltó de nuevo. Tampoco pudo tomarlas.
He backed up a few steps, ran, and jumped. He came very close, but couldn’t reach them. He went back, counted to three, and jumped again. He couldn’t grab them either.
