1. -The bird and the tree-El pájaro y el árbol(cuento popular saharaui)
Traducido y adaptado por la maestra de inglés Eva

2. One day at school the
teacher talked about the
desert animals: foxes,
lizards... Then, she asked
the classroom to draw a
bird on a tree in just two
minutes.
She became very serious
and told them that they
should finish the task on
time if they did not want
to see her angry.

3. Two minutes later, the
teacher slapped and
ordered the whole class
to show their slates in
order to see that they
had already finished the
task. All of them drew a
tree with a bird on its
branches except
Fátima...

4. The teacher stood up
and asked her:
Why haven’t you drawn
the bird too?
I can only see the tree
and I said a tree and a
bird...

5. Fátima answered:
I have drawn it but when
you slapped it was so
frightened that flew.

6. But before leaving, it told
me that it was going to
the house next to the sea
that my grandparents
had to leave when they
came here fleeing from
war.
It says that there are
really beautiful trees
there, not like this, which
is just a drawing. It also
told me that it will be
waiting for me until I
could go back to our true
home.

7. ¡See you soon! Bye
