Text from Puedo hacer cosas!
Soy un niño mayor ahora…
Puedo dibujar y puedo hacer cosas.
Hago un dibujo de mi madre.
Se sienta tranquilamente.
También hago dibujo de mi hermana,
pero no se sienta tranquilamente…
Dibujo muchas cosas.
Pero me han dicho no a dibujar en la pared.
Puedo hacer cosas…
Hago un dibujo de un gato.
Él es gordo.
Hago un pez. Es pequeño.
Hago botes de papel.
También hago pájaros y aviones de papel.
Hago casas y trenes.
¡ Mi hermana hace el desorden !
Puedo hacer muchas cosas,
pero mi hermana no puede…
<end of Spanish story – I can make things>
