This sixth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is inspired by requests from my listeners. Today’s story comes from a request for a story about monarch butterflies. Hannah is a curious girl. When a butterfly lands in her back yard, she wants to learn all about it. After visiting the library, she learns that these butterflies are special and that they fly all the way to Mexico from Canada. What else will she learn about the mariposa monarca?
This story is told in the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “mariposa” (butterfly), “alas” (wings), “oruga” (caterpillar), “algodoncillo” (milkweed), “biblioteca” (library), and “bibliotecaria” (librarian). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
