LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE MARISA UNA CHICA INTELIGENTE.

Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Te consideras una persona inteligente?

2. ¿ En que habilidades eres bueno?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Marisa tiene fama de ser muy observadora e inteligente. Un día, sus amigos
y amigas deciden ponerla a prueba. Van a visitarla y le llevan cuatro rosas;
una de ellas es de plástico.

 Cuando le dan las rosas le piden que adivine, sin
tocarlas, cuál es la rosa de plástico.


Marisa decide poner las flores en un jarrón con agua y sacarlas al jardín,
donde su madre les ha preparado la merienda.

Marisa no deja de observar las flores del jarrón. Una abeja se para en ellas
para recoger el polen . Sus amigos están merendando y se han olvidado de
las rosas; pero Marisa no.

Al cabo de un rato, Marisa exclama:

-¡Ya está!. ¡Ya sé cuál es la rosa de plástico!. Es esta.
Marisa lo ha acertado.

Marisa the smart girl

Poisson Rouge.
Poisson Rouge en a assez de tourner en rond dans son bocal.
- Peux-tu m'aider à sortir ? demande-t-il à Hoquet le perroquet.
- Où veux-tu aller ? Tu ne sais pas marcher, pas voler, tu vas mourir si je te sors de l’eau.
- Je veux nager dans la baignoire, s’il te plaît, aide-moi !
Hoquet attrape Poisson Rouge par une nageoire et le dépose dans la baignoire. Quelle joie ! Il rencontre un étrange poisson.
- Bonjour, dit-il, comment allez-vous ?
- C'est une éponge, dit le perroquet en riant, elle sert à laver les enfants.
- Vite, replace-moi dans mon bocal, on pourrait me prendre pour une éponge, dit Poisson Rouge. Demain, je voudrais nager dans la mer, tu pourras m’y emmener ?
- Non, dit Hoquet, tu es mon seul ami, tu pourrais être mangé par un requin et j’aurais trop de chagrin.
