The Little Red Hen: An old English folk tale.

-Yo no -dijo el perro.
-Yo no -dijo el gato.
-Yo no -dijo el cerdo.
-Yo no -dijo el pavo.

thanks for the stories….even though I’m 43 it was fun listening to them… I can understand them without the transcript, which is great, though I could use the transcript to help with the grammar and some words…hopefully when you have more stories we’ll be able to download lots more….
You’re quite welcome, Jonathan! And yes, plenty of stories are in the pipeline headed your way.
My dictionary says “pavo” is turkey…I’m pretty sure this old English story did not include a bird from Mexico. “Pato”, with a “t”, means duck, and a duck is a more typically included in this story.
Nevertheless, thanks for the story. I did enjoy it, turkey and all
OK, S, I’ll take your word for it, although I didn’t know that turkeys were a bird from Mexico.
