This is the first of my original bilingual short story podcast episode series. In each episode, I narrate an original short story, initially in a foreign language of my choice, and then in English.

The stories are targeted more towards a younger audience (middle school level), but anyone can listen if they are interested in increasing their language listening and comprehension skills. The stories have some Christian principles / morals.

The title of this original short story is called Lina's Little Turtle. It begins with a girl named Lina riding her bicycle along a sidewalk near her street. She sees a small turtle with a crack in his shell trying to cross the road. Lina gets the creature and plops him in the basket attached to her bike. Lina and her friend Sofia are now on a mission to help fix the crack on the turtle's shell.

The moral of this story is that it is honorable and rewarding to have compassion for other people, as well as for creatures in nature.

I hope you enjoy listening!
