SMALL TOWN SPANISH TEACHER
About this episode

Benjamín is not like other children. He goes to school and enjoys playing, but he is not a normal child: he is a robot child. He had an accident in front of his friend Elian. Now, Elian and other kids are whispering about him and calling him a monster. Catalina and Gustavo are willing to do anything to protect their little family, but will it be enough?


This story is in the third person and the present tense with some future tense and subjunctive as well. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “se acerca” (approaches/nears), “vete” (go away), “piedras” (stones), and “abraza” (hugs).


No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2024/09/24/simple-stories-in-spanish-el-hijo-robot-parte-4/
