20 分钟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 pre intermediate learners.
The name of the story is the lion in love.
This is chapter one of three.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easystoriesinenglish.com lionloveone that's easystoriesinenglish.com lionloveone Lion Love one this contains the full story, as well as my conversation before it.
Two episodes ago I mentioned that I had surgery on my shoulder recently.
I am still recovering, although I am much closer to being better.
I still have to have my left arm in a sling, which means I can't use it, although I can now take it off for short periods of time.
For example, I take it off to get dressed so I can wear the sling over my clothes.
I take the sling off to shower and so on.
In a few days I'm going in for a physiotherapy appointment.
This is where they give you exercises to build your strength back up and to heal the part of your body that's injured.
I've done lots of physiotherapy for my shoulder before because I dislocated it so many times, so I'm not worried about it.
The only thing with physiotherapy is that it's a bit boring.
You have to do it usually four times a day, and the exercises aren't very exciting, but I actually don't mind it.
It's almost like a kind of meditation, and meditation is something I also do, so it's good for me.
Today's story is another one adapted from Aesop's fable, but this one is quite different in how it ends, although I have to say this is definitely one of the more tragic Aesop's fables.
Some of them are very adult in theme, and this is definitely one of them, but I won't spoil what happens.
I do feel like I generally write quite dark things.
