Zunzuncito's Adventure Chapter 1

Hello and welcome to this episode of simple stories in English from the book, "Soon-Soon-Sito's Adventure." "Soon-Soon-Sito is one of the tiniest hummingbirds in the world. Some might think he spends all his time happily sucking nectar from flowers, and they are not wrong. However, sometimes insects and even other hummingbirds get in between "Soon-Soon-Sito" and his dinner. I hope you enjoy Chapter 1 of "Soon-Soon-Sito's Adventure." Chapter 1 - The Smallest Hummingbird "Nector, nectar, nectar. I love nectar. Zoon-Soon-Sito sings while he flies from flower to flower." "Zoon-Soon-Sito sucks the flowers nectar. The nectar is sweet. Zoon-Soon-Sito loves nectar." "Soon-Soon-Sito needs to visit 1,000 flowers to find all the nectar that he needs in one day." So "Soon-Soon-Sito flies." He flies from flower to flower looking for sweet nectar. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" is a hummingbird. Hummingbirds are small birds. They are special birds. Hummingbirds are different from other birds. They are very small, but they are very fast. And they suck nectar from flowers. But "Zoon-Soon-Sito" is also a special hummingbird. He is the smallest of all the hummingbirds. He is super small. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" is only 5 centimeters long. Not only is he the smallest hummingbird, he is the smallest bird in the whole world. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" moves his wings. He moves his wings so fast that it is impossible to see them. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" moves his wings 80 times a second. He moves them quickly to fly from flower to flower. "Soon-Soon-Sito" sees a red flower. The flower is very pretty. There is probably nectar in that red flower. "Soon-Soon-Sito" thinks. And he flies to the red flower with his fast wings. "Zoon-Soon-Soon-Sito" arrives at the red flower. He doesn't sit on the plant to eat. He doesn't rest his wings for even one moment. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" keeps flying. He moves his wings quickly and sucks nectar from the red flower while flying in the air. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" puts his long beak in the flower. Then he sucks the nectar with his tongue. He has a long, thin tongue. He sucks all the nectar from the flower. Then he looks for another flower. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" needs to suck the nectar from at least 1,000 flowers. He doesn't have time to rest. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" flies very high in the air to see all the flowers. He loves all the bright colors of the flowers. And he loves their sweet nectar. The small hummingbird sees a yellow flower. It is bright and pretty like the sun. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" wants to drink the nectar from the yellow flower. And he quickly flies to the flower. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" when he is close to the flower, a big hummingbird moves in front of "Zoon-Soon-Sito" and drinks the nectar. "Zoon-Soon-Sito" is hungry and he wants to suck the nectar from the yellow flower. So he decides to talk to the hummingbird. "Hello, Mr. hummingbird." "Zoon-Soon-Sito" says. "I know that you also need to drink nectar, but this is my yellow flower." The hummingbird doesn't move, so "Zoon-Soon-Sito" tries to speak louder. "Hello, Mr. hummingbird." "Zoon-Soon-Sito" yells. "I know that you like nectar, but. " "Who is talking?" the hummingbird interrupts. "I'm talking," "Zoon-Soon-Sito" responds, and he flies in front of the bird. "You stole my flower." The hummingbird looks at "Zoon-Soon-Sito." "The hummingbird is not a huge bird, but it is bigger than "Zoon-Soon-Sito." "Ha-ha! You are super small!" the hummingbird laughs. "Please, Mr. hummingbird, let me pass to drink the nectar from the yellow flower," "Zoon-Soon-Sito" says. "But the hummingbird doesn't listen. He just laughs and keeps drinking the nectar from the yellow flower." "Zoon-Soon-Sito" needs to find another flower. "The end!" Thank you for listening.
