Spanish for kids - La Ratita Presumida

music playing

There was once a very conceited little rat

that swept her house every day.

One day sweeping her house, she found a

coin near the stairs.

Oh, how happy I am!

"And..mm what can I do with this coin?"

Asked the little rat.

"Mm, I know!"

"I'll buy sweets and candies."

"Mm, no no no no my teeth will fall out."

She thought first.

"I'll buy a new hat."

she thought later.

"But......mm"

"I'm going to cover my beautiful brown

hair."

"I know!"

"I'm going to buy a pink bow to wear on my

beautiful tail."

And so she did.

She went to Mrs. Rabbit's house to buy a

pretty pink bow.

She chose the longest, thickest, and most

expensive bow of them all in the store.

"This pink bow will be the envy of

everyone in the neighborhood."

Thought the conceited little rat.

And returned to her house to sweep her

stairs, with the pink bow on

to be the most beautiful.

Shortly afterwards, Mr. Duck passed by,

seeing her so beautiful and said,

"Ratita, ratita, you are so beautiful."

"Do you want to marry me, since I am

such a good neighbor?"

"Mm, I don't know, I don't know." replied

the rat.

"And at night, what will you say to me?"

"Quack quack", said Mr. Duck

to the rat.

"No, no, you are going to

wake me up at night. With those screams,

I don"t want you as a husband".

Later Mr. Rooster passed by, seeing her so

beautiful, and also said, "Ratita, ratita,

you are so beautiful. Do you want to marry

me, since I am such a good neighbor?"

"Mm, I don't know, I don't know." replied

the rat. "And at night, what will you say

to me?"

"Cock-a-doodle-doo,Cock-a-doodle-doo",

said Mr. Rooster to the rat.

"No, no, you are going to wake me up at

night. With those screams,

I don't want you as a husband".

Mr. Dog also passed by,

seeing her so beautiful, he said,

"Ratita, ratita,

you are so beautiful. Do you want to marry

me, since I am such a good neighbor?"

"Mm, I don't know, I don't know." replied

the rat.

"And at night, what will you say to me?"

"Woof, woof, woof", Mr. Dog said

to the rat.

"No, no, you are going to wake me up

at night. With those screams,

I don't want you as a husband".

Neither Mr. Pig nor Mr. Horse were good

enough for the conceited little rat.

But Mr. Cat passed by,

with his well shaved whiskers.

"Ratita, ratita, you are

so beautiful. Do you want to marry me,

since I am such a good neighbor?"

"Mm, I don't know, I don't know."

replied the rat.

"And at night, what will you say to me?"

"Meow. meow", Mr. Cat said to the rat.

"Yes, I want to marry you!

With your beautiful voice,

you won't wake me up"

the conceited rat said to Mr. Cat.

And so they did.

A beautiful Spring day, they got married

and all of the residents of the

neighborhood were wedding guests.

That same night,

when Mr. Cat wanted to kiss

the conceited rat, he didn't say meow

with his beautiful voice. Mr. Cat pulled

out his claws and his sharp teeth to eat

her whole. From her tail to her earrings

But the story doesn't end here.

Luckily, the rat could run very far away

and she escaped before her husband Mr. Cat

ate her for dinner.

She ran so fast, that on the way,

she lost her beautiful pink bow

that her suitors liked so much.

The first to cross her path was Mr. Horse

and seeing her so scared, he said,

"Ratita, ratita, where are you going so

fast?" "Mr. Horse, help me escape from my

husband, Mr. Cat. He wants to eat me up

for dinner!" "Neeeeigh, don't worry Ratita

I'm going to help you.

With me, Mr. Cat

is not going to scare you."

But the little rat kept running,

even faster,

passing by Mr. Pig's house.

"Ratita, ratita, where are you going

so fast?"

"Mr. Pig, help me escape from my husband,

Mr. Cat. He wants to eat me up for dinner!

"Oink, oink, don't worry Ratita.

I'm going to help you.

With me, Mr. Cat

is not going to scare you."

And without stopping,

she saw in the distance Mr. Rooster

walking around with Mr. Dog.

They both looked at each other surprised

and shouted,

"Ratita!"

"Ratita!"

"Where are you going so fast?"

"Mr. Rooster, Mr. Dog,

please help me escape from my husband, Mr

Cat who wanted to eat me whole

tonight for dinner."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo, woof, woof,

said her friends.

Don't worry Ratita,

we are going to help you.

With us, Mr. Cat

is not going to scare you."

Tired, the little rat stopped to rest.

She closed her eyes

and took a deep breath.

exhales deeply

When she opened her eyes,

she saw Mr. Duck smiling.

"Ratita, ratita, where were you

going so fast?"

"Mr. Duck, I was escaping from my husband

Mr. Cat, who wanted to eat

me whole tonight for dinner."

"Quack quack,

don't worry Ratita,

all of us are going to help you.

With your friends,

Mr. Cat is not going to scare you."

And together they went to Ratita's house

to tell Mr. Cat to

leave the house.

But when they arrived at

Ratita's house,

Mr. Cat was not in the house.

Mr. Cat fled the city and the

friends forever sang and laughed together

to celebrate this new and happy friendship

Oink, oink, woof, woof, woof,

cock-a-doodle-doo, neeeeigh

could be heard from Ratita's house.

The different noisy voices

didn't bother the little rat anymore.

They were what made her very happy!

And they lived happily ever after.
