In the forest along the Paraná River, the animals talk, work and quarrel. In these eight tales, a giant turtle carries the man who had once nursed it all the way to the city, flamingos go to a ball in snakeskin stockings, and the crocodiles go to war against a ship.
Horacio Quiroga wrote these stories for his children, in the forest where he lived. They are funny, sometimes cruel, and one of them explains why flamingos have red legs.
Short and written in simple sentences, these tales can be read one by one in the language you are learning.
