English to Spanish: The Ghost that Played Guitar | |
Source text - English Once there was a little girl who was very glad because every June, when vacation time came, she and her big brother would go down to their grandmother and grandfather’s place. One Saturday morning, when they had gone to visit their grandparents, they decided to accompany their grandfather to his garden. They went to look for guava and mango fruit. So, while they were walking along with their grandpa, he began to tell them a story about one big white ghost. At the same time they began to hear the strumming of a guitar in the woods. So their grandpa went to investigate. When he got into the woods, he found the guitar, but the person who had been playing it was gone! He told his grandchildren that it was probably the ghost who had been playing the guitar. The little children got so frightened that they started to run and holler and never stopped until they got home where their grandma was waiting for them! | Translation - Spanish La pequeña se alegraba de ver al mes de Junio llegar en época de vacaciones, pues ella y su hermano, por fin podrían ir a casa de sus abuelos. Un sábado en la mañana durante la visita, decidieron acompañar a su abuelo al jardín. Buscaban mango y guayaba, y mientras caminaban junto a su abuelo, éste comenzó a contarles una historia a cerca de un enorme fantasma blanco, al tiempo que se escuchaban en el bosque las cuerdas de una guitarra. El abuelo decidió ir a investigar y cuando se adentró en el bosque encontró solo la guitarra pero no a la persona que había estado tocándola, por lo que dijo que era el fantasma quien había tocado la guitarra. Los niños se asustaron tanto que empezaron a correr y a gritar sin parar hasta llegar a casa donde los esperaba su abuela. |
