Welcome to easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from ok to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's story is for intermediate learners.
The name of the story is the black cat.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easystoriesinenglish.com.
cat that's easystoriesinenglish.com Cat c A T.
This contains the full story as well as my conversation before it.
Today's story is another story by Edgar Allan Poe.
The last story on the podcast from Edgar Allan Poe was the heart that told the truth.
You can listen to that episode@easystoriesinenglish.com.
hart H E A r t if you're not aware, Edgar Allan Poe is a famous american author in the genre of gothic horror.
I described a bit about gothic horror last time, basically scary things in an old gothic victorian setting.
So when I was looking for stories to adapt for the podcast, I saw this one.
I saw Cat in the title, and I thought, oh, I like cats, so maybe this will be a nice story.
But no, Edgar Allan Poe is a very morbid author.
Morbid meaning he loves things like death, murder, skeletons, things like that.
So the black cat in this story is unfortunately not very nice.
And consequently, I have a warning for all of you today.
Today's story does contain murder, that is, killing and violence towards animals.
I know some people are very sensitive about violence towards animals.
