Today I want to share with youthe story of Pulgarcita. Pay a
lot of attention because in the endI' ll give you a few questions.
They' re ready. We startedThere was once a woman who lived

(02:22):
alone in the countryside, had nothad children and felt very sad every night,
looked at the stars and asked fora single wish to have a daughter,
until finally a fairy appeared to herand gave her a seed, telling

(02:44):
her to plant her and care forher fruit with much love. The woman
planted the seed. The next day, a beautiful tulip- like flower grew
immediately. The woman kissed her andin doing so, the petals opened revealing

(03:06):
to a beautiful girl no bigger thana thumb. That' s why he
called her Pulgarcita. Pulgarcita' smother got her a walnut shell as a
cradle, covered it with violet flowersand gave her a rose petal as a
pillow. Pulgarcita and her mother livedhappily, keeping company with each other singing

(03:35):
beautiful songs without ceasing. One night, a toad passed by Pulgarcita' s
house and when he saw her throughthe window asleep in her crib, he
found it so beautiful that he decidedto take her away without thinking about how

(03:55):
sad Pulgarcita would be. Being farfrom her mother, the healthy one took
her to her swamp and left herin the nelufarth furthest from the shore,
knowing that Pulgarcita, by her stature, could not escape. When he woke
up, Pulgarcita became very frightened torealize that he was not at home.

(04:19):
At that time, the toad appearedand told him that he was very happy
that now she kept him company andpromised to make him a very special room
full of beautiful flowers. Then heleft her alone one more time to work

(04:39):
in the room. Thumbs cried anda fish listened to her. What'
s the matter, little girl,the fish asked her and she told her
that a toad had stolen her fromher home. The fish took pity on
her and helped her escape by cuttingoff the root to nourish her. Now,

(05:01):
Pulgarcita was sailing down the river withoutknowing what adventure she would live now.
A bumblebee flying nearby saw her sailingdown the river and came up to
talk. The bumblebee asked her ifshe wanted to be her friend and she

(05:21):
said yes, so the bumblebee tookher and went back to a field of
dalias where her other bumblebee friends were. When she introduced her, her friends
told her that Pus Garcita was thestrangest creature they had ever known, and

(05:42):
the Beeherro, hearing this, decidedthat he no longer wanted to be friends
with Pulgarcita and left her there.Pulgarcita survived autumn by drinking the morning dew
and nectar of the flas, enjoyingeach drop as if it were a feast.

(06:04):
But as winter approached, he knewthat he should seek a warmer home.
He started walking and soon discovered aburrow. He looked up and a
curious field mouse received it. Soonthey became friends and the mouse invited him

(06:25):
to spend the winter with him,telling him what he might know his friend
the Topo. The three enjoyed theirdays telling fascinating stories and savoring wheat grains
as they warmed up by the cozyfire of the fireplace. One morning,

(06:46):
while Pulgarcita was sunbathing outside the burrow, she saw a gallondrine in the distance
that seemed hurt. She went tosee her and discovered that her heart was
still with the help of the mouseand the Topo took her to the burrow

(07:06):
looking after her all winter until theswallow became strong and her wing improved.
Then, the swallow offered to takePuldorcita back to her home. Pulgarcita was
very happy to hear this and saidgoodbye to her friends, the mouse and
the mole, thanking them for givingher refuge. The Golondrina and Pulgarcita flew

(07:33):
upriver and soon arrived at their home. When her mother saw the swallow enter
through the kitchen window, she wasa little frightened, but realizing that Pulgarcita
accompanied her, she became very happyto see her daughter again and so,
Pulgarcita and her mother lived together againhappy and full of love and colorless.

(08:01):
This story is over. How didthey like it? I hope so.
Now let' s go with thequestion round. Get ready What gave the
magic fairy to the woman who livedalone. He gave her a very special

(08:33):
seed. What' s the nameof the little girl who came out of
the flower. They called her Pulgarcita. What he did to the toad when

(08:56):
he saw Pulgarcita sleeping in her bed, he took her and took her to
his swamp, no matter how sadPulgarcita would feel to be away from her

(09:20):
mother. Who helped Pulgarcita escape thebaby in the swamp. A fish helped
her by cutting the root of thenenufar. How Pulgarcita returned to her home.

(09:46):
At the end of the story,a swallow flew her back home.
The mother of Pulgarcita, what shewanted most was to have a daughter and

(10:09):
a fairy gave her not before askingher to take care of the fruit of
that seed with much love, whichteaches us how important it is to care

(10:30):
with love for those around us ourfamily, our friends our pets, our
little plants and why not also theplanet on which we live. We can
also highlight the history of Pulgarcita,who, despite having experienced many difficulties such

(10:50):
as being kidnapped by a toad,our protagonist was always very brave, but
above all never lost his good heartand was able to make new friends who
helped him in his adventure. Finally, I invite you not to judge others

(11:11):
by their appearance, just as theBeekeeper and his other friends did with Pulgarcita.
He first offered him his friendship andthen withdrew it for heeding the opinion
of others. Remember that all peopleare very valuable and that the most important
thing is their interior, that is, who they are in their heart.

(11:39):
Well, that' s all fortoday. I hope you' ve had
fun. Take care and remember tocome back next Tuesday to enjoy a new
story. See you soon.
