PIECE OF TALE (IV)

Here you have another piece of a popular tale.


The troop, to the number of forty, well mounted and armed, came to the foot of the rock on which the tree stood, and there dismounted. Every man unbridled his horse, tied him to some shrub, and hung about his neck a bag of corn which they carried behind them. Then each took off his saddle-bag, which from its weight seemed to ‘Ali Baba to be full of gold and silver. One, whom he took to be their captain, came under the tree in which he was concealed, and making his way through some shrubs, pronounced the words: “Open, Simsim!”

O.K. Adrián, you win again! Congratulations!

PIECE OF TALE (III)

¡Vamos con el tercero! Pero si la cosa sigue así de fácil tendremos que complicarlo un poquito, ¿no?

Once upon a time, in mind winter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a beautiful queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood. As she sewed, she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red on the white looked so beautiful, that she thought, "If only I had a child as white as the snow, as red as blood, and as black as this frame". Soon afterward she had a little daughter that was as white as snow, as red as blood and as black as ebony wood, and therefore they called her ...

Adrián, de 5º B, ha sido el ganador. El cuento es "SNOW WHITE". ¡Enhorabuena!

PIECE OF TALE (II)

Parece que nos ha gustado este jueguecito, porque en cuestión de horas lo habéis resuelto.
Pues aquí va otro trozo de cuento.



As she was going through the wood, she met with a wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some woodcutters working nearby in the forest. He asked her where she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, “I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother.”

Bueno, pues María C, de 5º B, ha sido la primera en adivinar que se trata de Caperucita roja, o sea, "Little Red Riding Hood". Enhorabuena, María.

PIECE OF TALE (I)

Vamos a cambiar un poco, y en lugar de adivinanzas, ahora os traigo un trozo de un cuento, para que me digáis cuál es.

“It happened, however, that the king gave orders for a festival which was to last three days, and to which all the beautiful young girls in the country were invited, in order that his son might choose himself a bride. When the two step-sisters heard that they too were to appear among the number, they were delighted, called her and said, "comb our hair for us, brush our shoes and fasten our buckles, for we are going to the wedding at the king's palace.”

¡Vamos, contadme vuestras opciones!

Vaya, parece que aunque Aurora y María han sido más rápidas, el ganador es Adrián, ya que lo ha escrito en inglés. Ya lo sabéis para la próxima.
