🎧 Listening Activity Transcript ⬇️

El pueblo donde vive Luna está muy lejos de la ciudad. El campo es un lugar tranquilo y relajado para vivir.
Hay cielos despejados sin contaminación. Por eso, en la noche es posible ver las estrellas resplandecientes.
Cuando Luna pasea por las praderas, siente la fragancia de las flores que rodean el lugar.
“Me encanta vivir acá. No imagino otro lugar,” piensa Luna.
Si escuchas con atención, es posible sentir el sonido de los animales.
Hay muchos animales en el campo, como vacas, corderos, perros, búhos, cerdos, gallinas, patos, caballos, burros y conejos.
Y claro, otros gatos también.
