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, so just above beginners, the name of the story is Crow island.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easystoriesinenglish.com crow that's easystoriesinenglish.com Crow cr o w.
This contains the full story as well as my conversation before it.
So today is the first time I'm putting my own original fiction on the podcast and I'm very excited about it.
I really hope you enjoy the story today.
It's actually one I wrote quite a long time ago.
I mentioned, I think in episode one or two that I speak Esperanto.
I'm an esperantist, so Esperanto is a language that was designed for international communication, and I go to Esperanto events around the world quite frequently.
A few years ago, I was at an Esperanto event in Slovakia, and during this event there was a course about literature in Esperanto, and part of the course involved us writing our own stories.
So this is a story I wrote then originally in Esperanto, of course, but I liked it and it's short, so it fits the podcast.
I decided to translate it into English.
It's an adventure story and I usually.
Don'T read adventure stories and I usually.
Don'T write adventure stories, but I do think it's something that I want to do more of.
I used to read a lot of adventure fiction as a child and a teenager, and I think I told myself, oh, I'm over that.
You know, I'm not interested in that anymore, but actually I am.
So I should just follow my interest.
There's nothing like a well written action scene, and hopefully the action in this story is interesting and exciting for you.
