Como primer episodio de este pódcast, escucharemos un fragmento de "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha", el mismo de donde sale la célebre expresión "el cuento de nunca acabar".

Cuento de nunca acabar

Episodio 1: Don Quijote I: Capítulo 20 (fragmento)

In this episode, you can notice the simple way to interact while hearing someone telling a story, using “然后呢？”. In this case, "然后呢？" means "and then?".  

今天我到外面走走，没想到发现了一大堆蚂蚁正在搬一只死了的虫子。
它们有的拉着脚，有的拉着头，还有的拖着身子 ，
几乎把整个虫子都围住了。可是虫子却一点儿也不动 。
不过，蚂蚁们也没有放弃，依然竭尽全力地拉着。 
最后在蚂蚁们坚持不懈的努力下，终于把虫子拖回了家。
蚂蚁这种坚持不懈的精神值得我们学习吧?
