A little bee who doesn't like to work gets locked out of the hive, tries to find a shelter for the night, and ends up facing a snake who really likes to eat bees.
This parable (original title: La abeja haragana) from the collection Stories from the Jungle (Cuentos de la selva) begins like a children story, but that's not where it ends. After all, it was written by Horacio Quiroga, the Uruguayan master of bizarre short stories.
Readual brings you this wonderful story for the first time as a bilingual study reader, which is specially translated and annotated for learners of Spanish who want to read real literature and understand every word. The text uses plain, straightforward Spanish, and is therefore ideal for reading practice at any level.
This guided reader features:
(1) An introduction with information and tips for effective study with the ebook.
(2) The original Spanish text, broken down into individual sentences.
(3) An accurate sentence-by-sentence English translation.
(4) Detailed language notes explaining difficult grammar and vocabulary.
