About this article

Level A1 Reading focus

What you'll learn

Present tense of everyday verbs, questions and short dialogue, object pronouns before the verb, words for the home, food and animals, usted and ustedes

This article contains a MovaReader adaptation in simple Spanish of five folk tales collected by Fernán Caballero (1877): a vain little mouse chooses a husband among noisy suitors, a fox steals a wolf’s honey, an old couple gets three wishes, a cheeky little bird tricks a tailor and a king, and a goat and her kids face the monster Carlanco. Level A1 is for learners who already know the present tense and the most common words. You will practise everyday verbs, names of animals and dishes, and short conversations.
