The very busy spider.
Early one morning the wind blew a spider across the field.
Athin, silky threas trailed from her body.
The spider landed on a fence post neaar a farm yard..
and began to spin a web with her silky thread.
Neigh!,Neigh! said the horse.
Want to go for a ride?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Moo!,Moo! said the cow.Want to eat some grass?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Baa!,Baa! bleated the sheep.Want to run in the meadow?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Maa!,Maa! said the goat. Want to jump on the rocks?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Oink!,Oink! grunted the pig.Want to roll in the mud?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Woof!,Woof!, barked the dog. Want to chase a cat?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Meow!,Meow! cried the cat. Want to take a nap?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Quack! Quack! called the duck. Want to go for a swim?
The spider didn`t answer.
She was very busy spinning her web.
Cock-a-doodle do! crowed the rooster. Want to cath a presty fly?
And the spider caught the fly in her web...

“El Grúfalo” cuenta la historia de un ratón que sale a pasear por el bosque y se encuentra con tres animales muy hambrientos que quieren comérselo: un zorro, un búho y una serpiente. Pero el ratón es muy listo y les habla de que está por encontrarse con una criatura monstruosa y logra escapar de cada uno de ellos. El ratón está convencido de que esa criatura no existe, hasta que él mismo se encuentra con ella. Para persuadirlo a él de que tampoco lo coma, le dice que todos en el bosque le tienen miedo a pesar de ser pequeño. El ´Grúfalo” no le cree, pero decide acompañarlo por el bosque. Todos los animales se quedan asombrados al ver que el ratón, efectivamente, está acompañado de la bestia que les había descrito. Al final de la historia, el Grúfalo también decide huir porque concluye que, si todos los animales le temen al ratón, debe de ser “por alguna razón”.
Había una bruja, con su sombrero de pico, su lazo en la trenza, su varita, su caldero, su gato y su escoba. La escoba de la bruja pero sobre todo la escoba del gato, algo posesivo.
Poco a poco, y tras varios problemas durante el vuelo, vamos conociendo a distintos animales que, tras ayudar a la bruja, le hacen una pregunta: is there room on the broom for a *** like me?
El gato, que como gato que es no quiere compartir nada con nadie, tiene sus reticencias, pero la bruja, que no es de las verdes con berruga, sino de las buenas, alegremente va aceptándolos a todos.
Así que van una bruja, un gato, un perro, un pájaro y una rana en la escoba y claro, CRACK, al suelo todos, menos la bruja que se ha quedado con un trocito de escoba y sigue volando descontroladamente.
Aunque igual hubiera preferido caer al suelo con los demás, ya que lo que le espera no es otra cosa que un dragón con un estomago que llenar.
"I've lost my mum!" It's not too much fun being lost in the jungle, and little monkey wants his mummy. Kindly butterfly is keen to help, but they don't seem to be having much luck as the well-meaning butterfly misunderstands monkey's descriptions and leads him to all sorts of unsuitable animals! But eventually, they find ...Dad! It's just as well that he knows exactly where mum is, and she's waiting with a well-deserved cuddle
He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him.
- "Poor little ugly duckling!" she would say. "Why are you so different from the others?"
And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.
-"Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?"
Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds.
-"Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?"
But everyone shook their heads in scorn.
- "We don´t know anyone as ugly as you."
The ugly duckling did not lose heart, however, and kept on making inquiries.
He went to another pond, where a pair of large geese gave him the same answer to his question. What´s more, they warned him:
-"Don´t stay here! Go away! It´s dangerous. There are men with guns around here!"
The duckling was sorry he had ever left the farmyard.
Then one day, his travels took him near an old countrywoman´s cottage. Thinking he was a stray goose, she caught him.
-"I´ll put this in a hutch. I hope it´s a female and lays plenty of eggs!" said the old woman, whose eyesight was poor.
But the ugly duckling laid not a single egg. The hen kept frightening him.
-"Just wait! If you don´t lay eggs, the old woman will wring your neck and pop you into the pot!"
And the cat chipped in:
- "Hee! Hee! I hope the woman cooks you, then I can gnaw at your bones!"
The poor ugly duckling was so scared that he lost his appetite, though the old woman kept stuffing him with food and grumbling:
-"If you won´t lay eggs, at least hurry up and get plump!"
-"Oh, dear me!" moaned the now terrified duckling. "I´ll die of fright first! And I did so hope someone would love me!"
Then one night, finding the hutch door open, he escaped.
Once again he was all alone. He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds.
-"If nobody wants me, I´ll hid here forever."
There was plenty a food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely.
One day at sunrise, he saw a flight of beautiful birds wing overhead. White, with long slender necks, yellow beaks and large wings, they were migrating south.
