Story
Ana . . , mucha . .
Ana and Leo are at home. It is an afternoon of water. Outside, the sky is black and there is a lot of water. The two children cannot go out.
Ana . " ," . " ." . " ," . ". ."
Ana looks at the door. "We cannot go out," she says. "I have nothing to do." Leo looks at her. "It is true," says Leo. "Nothing. This afternoon is very bad."
. . . , .
The two children want to play outside. They want to see their friends. But today they cannot. There is only water, water and more water.
. "¡Ana! ¡ !" . "¿ ? ."
Then Leo has an idea. "Ana! I know now!" he says. "Do you see those big boxes? We can make something with them."
Ana . "¿ ?" . . " . , ."
Ana looks at the boxes. "What can we make?" she asks. Leo is happy. "A house. A big house, just for us."
. . . Ana . .
The two children put the boxes together. They put one box here and another box there. They make a small door. Ana puts paper and clothes inside. They also put a very small table.
"¡ !" Ana. " ." . "¡, Ana! ."
"It is our house!" says Ana. "It is very pretty." Leo goes into the box house. "Come, Ana! In here it feels very good."
. muchas . "¡ !" . Ana . . .
The two children play inside their house. They talk and make a lot of jokes. "This is the best house in the world!" says Leo. Ana is very happy. Now the afternoon is very fun. They no longer think about the water outside.
. , . .
Time passes. Outside there is still water, but the children do not care. Their box house is the best game of the day.
. . "¡ !" . . , .
Then their mother arrives. She looks at the box house. "How pretty!" she says. The two children are very happy. It was an afternoon of water, but it was also the best day.
